Ingredients
- 1 lb. fresh asparagus
- ½ stick butter melted
- ½ tsp. minced garlic
- 2 lemons
- 1 sprinkle of sea salt
- 1 sprinkle of steak seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Wash and trim the ends from the asparagus, then spread out on a baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, mix the melted butter and garlic together.
- Drizzle butter mixture over asparagus and mix in with hands.
- Cut one lemon in half and squeeze juice over asparagus.
- Rearrange asparagus on baking sheet in a pretty fanned shape.
- Slice the remaining lemon and place on top.
- Sprinkle sea salt and steak seasoning over asparagus until lightly dusted.
- Bake at 400 degrees for 3 to 5 minutes, until just tender, but still crispy.
- Remove from oven and serve directly from baking sheet, or transfer to another dish.
Notes
- A sprinkle of sea salt and steak seasoning is just enough to lightly dust all of the asparagus.
- Choose the smallest stalks of asparagus you can find, so the cooking time will be less and the asparagus will be more tender.
- You can also grill the asparagus using the same method as above. Grill until veggies are tender, but still crisp.
