Let’s get started!
– 1 pound asparagus trimmed – 2 to 3 tsp avocado oil – ¼ tsp sea salt – ¼ tsp garlic powder – 3 to 4 Tbsp freshly grated parmesan cheese – Zest of 1 lemon
1. Set the oven's temperature to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. 2. Using a knife, trim the woody, rough ends off the asparagus and discard. Arrange the asparagus spears in a single layer on a large baking sheet with a rim and brush with avocado oil.
3. To make sure each asparagus spear has a thin layer of oil on it, use your hands to rub the oil over the asparagus. Add a pinch of sea salt and garlic powder to the asparagus. 4. Roast the asparagus for 10 to 20 minutes (bake for 10 to 15 minutes for thin spears and 15 to 20 minutes for thicker spears) on the center rack of a preheated oven, or until the asparagus is cooked to your preference.
5. As soon as you take the big sheet pan of asparagus out of the oven, top it with freshly ground black pepper, lemon zest, and parmesan cheese. 6. Enjoy the roasted asparagus with garlic, lemon, and parmesan dressing served with fresh lemon wedges as an accompaniment to your main dish!
