Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare it for roasting the asparagus.
Wash the asparagus thoroughly under cold water. Trim the woody ends off the bottom of the asparagus stalks. You can do this by snapping the ends where they naturally break or by cutting about 1-2 inches off the bottom.
Lay the asparagus on a baking sheet in a single layer. If the asparagus is crowded, use two baking sheets. Drizzle the olive oil over the asparagus, making sure they are well-coated. Sprinkle the minced garlic evenly over the asparagus. Finally, sprinkle the salt on top.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Roast the asparagus for 15-20 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly crispy on the tips. The exact time may vary depending on the thickness of your asparagus.
Remove the asparagus from the oven and transfer to a serving platter.
Tips:
- Choose fresh asparagus with firm, bright green spears for the best flavor and texture.
- To ensure even cooking, try to select asparagus stalks of similar thickness.
- A pinch of freshly ground black pepper can add an extra layer of flavor to your dish.
- If you prefer a bit of crunch, consider adding a handful of toasted almonds or pine nuts before serving.
- Use a high-quality extra virgin olive oil to enhance the overall taste of the dish.
