Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, honey, and minced garlic.

Storage

Notes

Choose fresh asparagus with bright green color and firm stalks for the best flavor. Adjust garlic amount based on taste preference. Try sprinkling toasted nuts or breadcrumbs on top for added texture.
