Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh asparagus
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Trim the tough woody ends from the asparagus and discard them.
- Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
- Arrange the asparagus in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the asparagus. Sprinkle with the minced garlic, salt, and pepper, then toss lightly to coat.
- Roast for 5–8 minutes, depending on the thickness of the asparagus. Thin spears will cook more quickly than thick spears.
- Remove from the oven when the asparagus is tender-crisp and lightly browned. Avoid overcooking so it retains a slight crunch.
