Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat the oven to 400F/gas 6. Wash the asparagus and cut about 1 inch off the base of each stem. I prefer to just snap the asparagus. Hold one stem at a time and snap towards the base; the stem should break just between the woody and the tender parts.
2. Place the asparagus (and peppers, if using) in a large ovenproof dish. Add the minced garlic, extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice (if using) and season lightly with with salt and pepper. Mix well.
3. Cook in the middle of the oven for 15-18 minutes until the asparagus spears are tender, mixing and turn them once halfway through.
