Ingredients
  

Asparagus
  • 500 g asparagus trimmed
  • 1.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 garlic clove finely minced
Optional Finishes
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp parmesan cheese freshly grated

Equipment

  • Baking sheet

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 220°C/430°F (200°C fan).
  2. Snap the woody ends off the asparagus. They will naturally break at the right point.
  3. Place the asparagus on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, pepper, and minced garlic. Toss to coat, then spread the asparagus in a single layer on the baking sheet.
  4. Roast for 7 to 12 minutes, depending on thickness, until the ends have a bit of color and the asparagus is just cooked through. Avoid overcooking until it becomes wrinkled.
  5. Remove the asparagus from the oven. If using, toss with lemon juice.
  6. Transfer the asparagus to a serving platter. Grate the optional Parmesan cheese over the top. Serve immediately.
