Ingredients

1 bunch thin asparagus spears, trimmed
3 tablespoons olive oil
1.5 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon sea salt
0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and gather all the necessary ingredients for this recipe.
Place the asparagus in a mixing bowl, drizzle generously with olive oil, and toss until evenly coated.
Evenly sprinkle the asparagus with Parmesan cheese and minced garlic. Add salt and pepper to taste, if desired. Arrange the asparagus in a single layer on a baking sheet or in a baking dish.
Roast in the preheated oven until the asparagus is tender-crisp, approximately 12-15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the spears. Before serving, sprinkle with fresh lemon juice for a bright finish, and serve immediately for optimal flavor and texture.
