3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
On the prepared baking sheet, toss asparagus with olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
Spread asparagus in a single layer. Roast for 10-12 minutes, until tender and lightly browned.

For thicker asparagus, add 2-3 minutes to roasting time.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat in a skillet or oven.
