Garlic Roasted Asperagus

Ingredients

o 1 lb asparagus spears (thick spears are best for roasting)

o 1 Tbsp olive oil

o 2 cloves garlic, minced

o Salt

o Black pepper

o Lemon juice

Servings: 4

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Rinse clean the asparagus. Break the tough ends off of the asparagus and discard.

2. Roll the asparagus back and forth until they are all covered with a thin layer of olive oil.

3. Sprinkle with minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Rub over the asparagus so that they are evenly distributed.

4. Place pan in oven and cook for approximately 8-10 minutes, until lightly browned and tender when pierced with a fork.

5. Drizzle with a little fresh lemon juice before serving.

Note: To test the freshness of asparagus, snap off a bit of the stalk near the base. If it's rubbery and simply bends, it is not fresh.
