INGREDIENTS

1 bunch of fresh asparagus, tough ends removed
Olive oil
Pinch of granulated garlic
Pinch of granulated onion
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

METHOD:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Rinse and pat dry the asparagus spears, and remove rough stems from ends of asparagus by bending them to find their natural breaking point. Cut remaining, accordingly.  Place prepped asparagus spears in small ovenproof baking dish and drizzle lightly with olive oil, and sprinkle with granulated garlic, granulated onion, kosher salt and ground pepper, to taste. Toss to coat, and spread out spears evenly into one layer, and roast for 15 to 20 minutes, just until crisp-tender, depending upon thickness. ~ Enjoy!

Tip:  The higher the temperature of your oven, the less the cooking time, so this recipe is very versatile when roasting fresh asparagus spears at the same time as a main or other side dishes.
