- 1 lb fresh asparagus, trimmed
- Juice of 2 fresh lemons

- 2 tsp dried thyme

- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- 1. Preheat Your Oven
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

- 4. Season Like a Pro
- Drizzle each packet with olive oil and lemon juice. Sprinkle minced garlic, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper on top.
