Roasted Tex Mex Asparagus Instructions:

1. First, you will need a Nonstick Baking Sheet or you can put Parchment paper down like we did. Prepare the Asparagus by washing them and letting them dry. Cut the Purple end part off the Asparagus and put them on the Baking Sheet. 

Tip: You don’t have to cut the ends of the Asparagus, sometimes we do like in this Recipe.

2. Next, Add Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Lemon Juice, Fresh Minced Garlic, Ground Cumin, Chili Powder, Salt and Ground Black Pepper to the Baking Sheet of Asparagus. Now, Toss the Ingredients together, you can do this with your Hands. Then even out the Asparagus on the Pan. Let Marinate for 20 Minutes. 

3. PreHeat Oven at 350 Degrees F. Roast the Asparagus for 15 – 20 Minutes. When they are done, the Asparagus will still have some crunch to them and won’t be mushy.
