Ingredients
- 2 pounds asparagus fibrous ends trimmed (see note 1)
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice from 1 lemon (see note 2)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Adjust an oven rack to the middle position and preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- In a large bowl, add asparagus, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and salt and pepper to taste (I like at least 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; sometimes I do a little more).
- Transfer to prepared baking sheet. Roast until lightly browned in some places but still crispy, about 10 to 12 minutes. Do not overcook.

Notes
- Asparagus: To trim the tough, fibrous portion of each spear, you can cut it with a knife or bend it until it snaps. The asparagus will break precisely where the tender part ends and the tough part begins. Roast the stems whole or cut into bite-sized pieces before roasting, if desired. If you have especially slim, tender stems, they may cook faster so keep an eye on them.
- Lemon: The zest of one lemon (about 1 teaspoon) can be added with the lemon juice. Just zest the lemon before you cut it to squeeze it.
- Yield: This recipe makes about 4 (1-cup) servings asparagus. The exact amount depends on where you were able to snap off the ends.
- Storage: Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To use them up, add to scrambled eggs or omelets or toss in a garden salad.
