Ingredients

  • 1 bunch asparagus woody ends trimmed off
  • 2 tbsp olive oil extra virgin
  • 2 tsp garlic salt or garlic powder
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp sea salt celtic (skip if using garlic salt)
  • 1 tsp pepper fresh cracked

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. 
  • Trim asparagus to remove tough, woody ends - discard ends. 
  • On a baking sheet (line with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup), lay down asparagus. 
  • Drizzle asparagus with olive oil and lemon juice, mix around with hands to coat evenly. 
  • Generously season with salt and pepper. 
  • Turn oven to 400 degrees.
  • Place asparagus in oven and roast at 400 for 15 minutes - checking at around 10 minutes to see if tips have started to brown slightly and asparagus has softened a bit. 
  • Cook until asparagus is soft and has crunchy browned bits, about 15 minutes total (this is very dependent on your oven and the thickness of the asparagus stalks - watch it to be sure it doesn't overcook.)
  • When asparagus is done, serve immediately.
