Cooking Instructions
- 1
Preheat the Oven
Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures that the asparagus will roast evenly and develop a nice flavor.

Prepare the Asparagus
Rinse the asparagus under cold water to remove any dirt. Trim the woody ends of the asparagus (about 1-2 inches from the bottom) using a sharp knife.

Season the Asparagus
In a large mixing bowl, add the trimmed asparagus. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper over the asparagus. Toss everything together until the asparagus is evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.

Roast the Asparagus
Spread the seasoned asparagus in a single layer 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 slightly crispy. You can shake the pan halfway through to ensure even cooking.

Finish with Lemon and Cheese
Once the asparagus is done roasting, remove it from the oven. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice for a fresh flavor. If desired, sprinkle 0.25 cup of grated Parmesan cheese over the asparagus while it's still hot, allowing it to melt slightly.

Serve
Transfer the roasted asparagus to a serving platter and enjoy warm as a delicious side dish.
