Method
Preparation
- 1
Trim the Asparagus
Begin by washing the asparagus under cold water. Pat dry with a paper towel. Hold the asparagus stalk at both ends and bend it gently until it snaps. This will naturally break off the woody part of the stalk. Repeat for all stalks.
- 2
Prepare the Garlic
Peel the garlic cloves and mince them finely with a knife or use a garlic press.
Cooking
- 3
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This high temperature will help the asparagus roast perfectly.

Season the Asparagus
In a large mixing bowl, combine the trimmed asparagus, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Toss everything together until the asparagus is well coated with the seasoning.
- 5
Roast the Asparagus
Spread the seasoned asparagus in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 15-20 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender and slightly crispy on the edges.

Serve
Remove the asparagus from the oven. Optionally, drizzle with additional lemon juice before serving. Enjoy warm as a side dish or on top of salads.
