PERFECTLY OVEN ROASTED ASPARAGUS
Spread your marinated asparagus onto an uncreased baking sheet (this baking sheet is my fave!) and cook at 350 for around 12 minutes.
Your asparagus will be soft inside, but delightfully golden and crispy on the outside. Oven roasted asparagus perfection!
SERVING LEMON GARLIC ASPARAGUS

Yes, clarification added, sorry 馃檪
