- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- Optional: fresh lemon juice and crushed red pepper flakes
Instructions

- Trim woody ends of asparagus and lay in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Toss asparagus with olive oil and minced garlic until evenly coated.
- Season with salt and pepper.
