Ingredients
- 1 bunch asparagus spears
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1-2 tablespoons avocado oil
-
pink Himalayan salt and pepper to taste
Directions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup
- Wash the asparagus spears under cold water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel
- Trim the tough ends off the asparagus spears by snapping them off where they naturally break or by using a knife to cut off the woody ends
- Place the trimmed asparagus spears on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer
- In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, chopped parsley, dried oregano, and avocado oil. Mix well to combine
- Drizzle the garlic and herb mixture over the asparagus spears, ensuring that they are evenly coated
- Season the asparagus with salt and pepper to taste, sprinkling the seasonings evenly over the spears
- Use your hands or a pair of tongs to toss the asparagus gently, making sure that they are well coated with the garlic and herb mixture
- Arrange the asparagus spears in a single layer on the baking sheet, making sure they are not overcrowded
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the asparagus for 12-15 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized, depending on their thickness
- Once roasted to your desired level of doneness, remove the baking sheet from the oven and transfer the roasted asparagus to a serving platter
- Serve the roasted asparagus immediately as a delicious side dish to accompany your favorite main course
- Garnish with additional chopped parsley or a squeeze of lemon juice if desired
