Method
Preparation
- 1
Trim the Asparagus
Start by rinsing the asparagus under cold water. Pat dry with a clean towel. Hold the asparagus spear and bend it gently until it snaps; this will naturally break off the tough end of the spear. Discard the tough ends and arrange the asparagus on a cutting board.

Mince the Garlic
Peel the garlic cloves and use a knife to mince them finely. You should have about 2 teaspoons of minced garlic.

Season the Asparagus

Roast the Asparagus
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 browned.

Finish with Lemon Juice
Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Drizzle the roasted asparagus with lemon juice, and give it a gentle toss to combine. Serve warm.
