-
1 pound
asparagus

1 tablespoon
olive oil

1 cup
cherry or grape tomatoes
-
1
lemon
-
2
cloves garlic
-
1/2 teaspoon
salt

1/2 teaspoon

Preheat oven to 400°F. Trim or snap the woody ends off of the asparagus.
-
On a lined baking sheet, spread the trimmed asparagus and top with halved tomatoes. Drizzle with olive oil and gently mix to coat.

Cut one end off of the lemon, and slice 5-7 thin slices. For added lemon flavor, squeeze remaining ends of the lemon over the asparagus and tomatoes.

Sprinkle evenly with salt and pepper and minced garlic. Lay lemon slices over the asparagus and tomatoes. Roast in oven for 20 minutes, or until tender and the asparagus ends start to crisp slightly.
