Cooking Instructions
- 1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it's hot enough to roast the asparagus.
- 2
Prepare the Asparagus
Wash the fresh asparagus under cold water and trim the woody ends, which are usually about 1-2 inches from the bottom.
- 3
Season the Asparagus
In a large bowl, combine the asparagus, olive oil, salt, black pepper, lemon juice, and garlic powder. Toss until the asparagus is evenly coated.
- 4
Arrange on Baking Sheet
Spread the seasoned asparagus in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- 5
Roast the Asparagus
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the asparagus for 12-15 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender and slightly crispy on the edges.
- 6
Add Parmesan Cheese (Optional)
If desired, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the asparagus during the last 2 minutes of roasting for a cheesy finish.
- 7
Serve
Remove the asparagus from the oven, let it cool for a minute, and serve hot as a side dish.
