1
Prepare the Asparagus
Rinse the fresh asparagus under cold water to remove any dirt. Trim the tough ends of the asparagus stalks, approximately 1-2 inches from the bottom.
2
Mince the Garlic
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves using a knife or garlic press.
3
Zest and Juice the Lemon
Using a grater, zest the lemon to collect the outer yellow part of the peel. Cut the lemon in half and juice it, ensuring to remove any seeds.

4
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting the asparagus.
5
Season the Asparagus
In a large mixing bowl, combine the trimmed asparagus, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to ensure the asparagus is evenly coated.
6
Roast the Asparagus
Spread the seasoned asparagus evenly on a baking sheet. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 15-20 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender and lightly browned.
7
Finish with Lemon
Once the asparagus is roasted, remove it from the oven and drizzle with the fresh lemon juice and sprinkle with lemon zest for added flavor. Toss gently to combine.
