Ingredients

• 1 bunch asparagus

3. place the trimmed asparagus in a baking dish, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, and toss with garlic and lemon zest.
4. place in the oven and roast until the tips start to brown and the asparagus is tender, about 15-20 minutes. Serve immediately or at room temperature.
