Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Asparagus

    Rinse the asparagus under cold water to remove any dirt or impurities. Trim the woody ends of the asparagus by bending the stalks until they snap naturally.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Season the Asparagus

    In a large bowl, combine the trimmed asparagus with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Toss until the asparagus is evenly coated with the seasoning.

  2. 3

    Roast the Asparagus

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread the seasoned asparagus in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender and slightly crispy.

  3. 4

    Serve

    Remove the asparagus from the oven and let it cool for a minute before serving. Enjoy as a side dish with your favorite main course.
