Ingredients

1 pound asparagus stalks trimmed
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped
lemon wedges for serving optional
cooking spray

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Coat a sheet pan with cooking spray.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper.
Arrange the asparagus stalks in a single layer on the pan. Drizzle the olive oil mixture over the asparagus and toss to coat.
Roast for 10-15 minutes, until asparagus is tender and tips are lightly browned.
Sprinkle with parsley and serve, with lemon wedges if desired.

Notes

I prefer to use thick asparagus stalks for this recipe - the really thin ones will turn to mush in the oven.

Line your sheet pan with a piece of foil coated in cooking spray to keep clean up to a minimum.

Roasted asparagus can be made in advance and reheated, but I prefer to serve it fresh from the oven.
