1
Wash the Asparagus
Rinse the fresh asparagus under cold water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
2
Trim the Ends
Hold each asparagus spear and bend it gently until it snaps. This will naturally break off the tough, woody end. Discard the ends and place the spears in a bowl.

3
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
4
Season the Asparagus
In the bowl with the asparagus, drizzle the olive oil over the spears. Add the minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Toss everything together until the asparagus is evenly coated.
5
Bake the Asparagus
Spread the seasoned asparagus in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender and slightly crispy.

6
Plate the Asparagus
Once cooked, remove the asparagus from the oven and let it cool for a minute. Serve warm as a side dish or as part of a salad.
