Ingredients
1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
Place the trimmed asparagus on a baking sheet in a single layer.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, honey, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Drizzle the lemon honey garlic mixture evenly over the asparagus and toss gently to coat all the spears.
Spread the asparagus out evenly on the baking sheet to ensure even roasting.
Roast the asparagus in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized, shaking the pan halfway through cooking.
Remove from the oven and transfer the asparagus to a serving dish.
Serve immediately as a flavorful side dish.
