Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). (5 minutes)

02

Step
5 mins

Arrange asparagus spears in a single layer on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, then evenly distribute minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and black pepper. Sprinkle with sea salt to taste. (5 minutes)

03

Step
15 mins

Bake in the preheated oven until asparagus is tender-crisp and slightly browned, approximately 15 minutes. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the asparagus. (15 minutes)

For a richer flavor, try adding a squeeze of fresh lemon juice just before serving.
If you prefer a more intense garlic flavor, you can roast whole garlic cloves alongside the asparagus and then mash them into a paste to spread over the spears after baking.
Parmesan cheese can be sprinkled over the asparagus in the last few minutes of baking.
Thicker asparagus spears may require a slightly longer baking time.
