Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound asparagus trimmed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt
  • 0.125 teaspoon black pepper

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Mixing bowl

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Wash the asparagus thoroughly and snap off the tough, woody ends; pat them dry with a clean paper towel.
  3. In a medium bowl, drizzle the trimmed asparagus with olive oil, then sprinkle with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper, tossing until evenly coated.
Cooking
  1. Spread the seasoned asparagus in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring no pieces are overlapping for even cooking.
  2. Roast for 10-15 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender-crisp and slightly browned.
Serving
  1. Carefully remove the roasted asparagus from the oven and serve immediately as a delicious side dish.

Notes

For extra flavor, you can add a squeeze of lemon juice or a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese after roasting.
