Directions
Preheat the oven to 450℉ (230℃).
In a large rimmed baking sheet, toss the asparagus and garlic slices with olive oil, salt and black pepper until evenly coated.
Arrange the asparagus in a single layer.
Roast in the oven for about 5 minutes or until fork-tender. The cooking time also depends on the thickness of the asparagus.
Meanwhile in a small bowl, whisk together the dressing ingredients.
Remove the asparagus from the oven, and let cool for a couple of minutes.
Drizzle the dressing over, and gently toss to combine.
Season with more lemon juice, salt and black pepper if needed.
Transfer to a serving platter.
Serve warm.
