Ingredients
Method
Directions
- 1
Prepare the Asparagus
Rinse the asparagus under cool running water to remove any dirt or debris. Trim the tough ends of the asparagus spears, about 1 to 2 inches from the bottom.
- 2
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high temperature will help to achieve a nice roasted texture.
- 3
Season the Asparagus
In a large mixing bowl, combine the trimmed asparagus with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Toss the asparagus until all the spears are evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.
- 4
Arrange on Baking Sheet
Spread the seasoned asparagus in a single layer on a baking sheet. Make sure the asparagus spears are not overcrowded to ensure even roasting.
- 5
Roast the Asparagus
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the asparagus for 12 to 15 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly crispy. The exact time will depend on the thickness of the asparagus.
- 6
Add Lemon Juice and Parmesan (Optional)
Once the asparagus is roasted, remove it from the oven. Drizzle with lemon juice and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese if using. Toss gently to combine.
- 7
Serve
Transfer the roasted asparagus to a serving platter and serve warm as a delicious vegetable side dish.
