Ingredients
  

  • 500 g Asparagus or 1 lb, 3 standard Australian bunches
  • 1.5 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
  • 0.25 tsp Salt
  • 0.25 tsp Black pepper
  • 1 Garlic clove finely minced
Optional finishes
  • 2 tbsp Lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp Parmesan freshly grated

Equipment

  • Oven
  • 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. Pile the asparagus onto 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, or until the ends have a bit of color and the asparagus is just cooked through. Avoid overcooking, as the asparagus can become wrinkly.
  5. Remove the asparagus from the oven.
  6. If using, toss the asparagus with lemon juice. Pile onto a serving platter and grate the optional Parmesan cheese over the top. Serve immediately.
