Ingredients
  

  • 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. It will naturally break at the right point.
  3. Place the asparagus on a baking tray. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, pepper, and minced garlic. Toss to coat, then spread the asparagus in a single layer on the tray.
  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.
  6. If using, toss the asparagus with lemon juice. Transfer to a serving platter and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.
