Ingredients - Serves 4

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Trim the ends of the asparagus and place them on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat.
Roast the asparagus in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until tender and slightly charred.
While the asparagus is roasting, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for a minute or two until fragrant.
Remove the butter from the heat and stir in the lemon juice and zest.
When the asparagus is done roasting, transfer it to a serving platter and drizzle with the lemon garlic butter. Serve immediately.
