How to Make Roasted Asparagus with Garlic

Rinse the asparagus and chop off the woody ends. Usually, the ends are a little purple-y — we want to keep the green only!

On a foil-lined baking sheet, lay the asparagus out in a single layer. Drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.

Next, add the garlic and toss the asparagus so all ingredients are well-distributed. You can do this with your hands or a spoon/spatula. 

Roast at 425F degrees until the “tree” ends are charred and asparagus is fragrant.
