Preparation
- 1
Trim the Asparagus
Rinse the fresh asparagus under cold water. Hold the asparagus spear at both ends and bend it gently until it snaps; this will remove the tough end of the stem. Alternatively, you can cut off about 1-2 inches from the bottom with a knife. Repeat for all asparagus spears.
Cooking

Season the Asparagus
Place the trimmed asparagus in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the olive oil over the asparagus and sprinkle the salt and black pepper. Toss gently to ensure that all the spears are evenly coated with oil and seasonings.

Roast the Asparagus
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Spread the seasoned asparagus in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, until the asparagus is tender and slightly crispy.

Add Lemon Juice
Once roasted, remove the asparagus from the oven. Drizzle the lemon juice over the hot asparagus and toss gently to combine. Serve warm as a side dish.
