Spread the asparagus spears on a large baking sheet in a single layer.

Drizzle the olive oil over the asparagus and sprinkle with minced garlic, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Toss gently to coat all the spears evenly.

Step 6

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and transfer the asparagus to a serving platter.
