A delightful and simple recipe for roasted asparagus with a zesty garlic lemon twist.
Preheat your oven to 425°F.
Preheating ensures even cooking and a perfect roast.
Wash and trim the asparagus spears, removing the woody ends.
Use a sharp knife or snap the ends off by hand for precision.
Arrange the asparagus in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Avoid overcrowding to ensure even roasting.
Drizzle the olive oil over the asparagus and sprinkle with garlic powder.
Use a pastry brush to evenly coat the spears with oil and seasoning.
Roast in the oven for 10-12 minutes, turning the spears halfway through.
Keep an eye on the asparagus to prevent overcooking.
Transfer the roasted asparagus to a serving platter.
Use tongs to neatly arrange the spears on the platter.
Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and serve with lemon wedges.
Add the cheese while the asparagus is still hot for it to slightly melt.
