Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Lightly grease a foil-lined baking sheet with nonstick spray.

Mix olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl. Arrange asparagus on the prepared baking sheet, and drizzle oil mixture over top; toss to coat.

Step 3

Roast in the preheated oven until spears are vibrant in color and just beginning to get tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and turn on the broiler.
