Ingredients

  • 1 pound asparagus spears woody ends removed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 garlic cloves finely minced
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the asparagus on the baking sheet.
  • Drizzle the olive oil on top of the asparagus and add the garlic, salt, and pepper. Use your hands and toss the asparagus to coat.
  • Bake until the asparagus starts to soften, 5 minutes. Flip, then bake again for 3–5 more minutes, depending on the thickness of the asparagus, or until the asparagus starts to look charred. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • My Top Tip: Blanch and shock your asparagus. If your spears are thick, this makes sure they're cooked throughout. Here's how to blanch asparagus.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 2–3 days. Reheat low and slow in the oven, or in the microwave until warmed through.
