Ingredients

Asparagus

  • 1 bunch asparagus

Seasoning

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or avocado oil
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit to achieve the perfect roasting temperature for the asparagus.
  2. Prepare the asparagus: Remove the woody ends of the asparagus by snapping them off at their natural break point to ensure a tender result.
  3. Season the asparagus: In a bowl, toss the asparagus spears with olive oil, sea salt, garlic powder, and ground black pepper until each spear is evenly coated with the seasoning.
  4. Arrange on sheet pan: Place the seasoned asparagus in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet to prevent sticking and allow for even roasting.
  5. Roast the asparagus: Roast in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until the asparagus is tender and slightly caramelized for the best flavor and texture.
  6. Serve: Remove from the oven and serve immediately as a delicious and nutritious side dish.

Notes

  • You can substitute sea salt with kosher salt if preferred.
  • For extra flavor, sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan cheese after roasting.
  • Make sure asparagus spears are roughly the same thickness to ensure even cooking.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
