Ingredients
- 16 ounces fresh asparagus
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 3/4 teaspoon salt plus more to taste
- 3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 3/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Rinse the asparagus under cold water to remove dirt. Snap or cut off the woody ends.
- Place the trimmed asparagus in a single layer in a microwave-safe dish. Pour one tablespoon of water over them.
- Cover the dish with a microwave-safe lid or plate, then microwave on high for 3 to 5 minutes until the asparagus is tender-crisp, depending on its thickness.
- Carefully remove the asparagus, drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice, and sprinkle with salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Toss gently to combine.
