Lemon Pepper

Roasted Asparagus

If you're like me, you understand how difficult it can be to get the perfectly cooked asparagus.  I've tried making it grilled, sautéed, and baked at various temperatures, but more often than not it comes out too soggy or overcooked.  

I finally found the easiest way to make it that takes under 10 minutes and comes out perfect every time! Also, it only has 4 ingredients.  Doesn't get much better than that, right?

Another bonus about this asparagus is it is healthy and salt-free! 

Ingredients

• 1 bunch of asparagus (about 1/2 lb)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Mrs. Dash lemon pepper seasoning
• 1 tsp black pepper

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425℉.
2. Cut the wooden-like ends off of the asparagus. 
3. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place asparagus on the pan.
4. Drizzle olive oil over the asparagus.  I usually use my hands to turn the asparagus in order to ensure they are completely covered in oil. 
5. Sprinkle lemon pepper seasoning and black pepper over the top of the asparagus, again turning to make sure it is completely covered.
6. Bake for 7-8 minutes, or until the asparagus can be easily penetrated with a fork. 
7. Enjoy!

Like I said, this is probably the easiest recipe there is and takes almost no time at all. It pairs well with just about anything, which is another added bonus. Enjoy!
