Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh asparagus
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

- Line a cookie sheet with foil for easy clean up.
- Lay asparagus on the cookies sheet in an even layer.
- Drizzle lightly with the olive oil.
- Sprinkle the minced garlic, salt and pepper over the top of the asparagus.
- Cook for 5-8 minutes based on the thickness of the asparagus (thinner asparagus will cook faster) until asparagus darkens slightly and is tender. Do NOT overcook. The asparagus should still be crisp.
