Oven-Roasted Asparagus
This is the simplest and quickest way to prepare green asparagus: the spears are tossed with oil, fresh lemon juice, salt, and pepper, then roasted in the oven for 12–15 minutes until tender yet still vibrant. You can easily customize the dish by adding cherry tomatoes and garlic for extra flavor, or turn it into a heartier variation by topping it with cheese such as Parmesan or feta.
