- 1 pound asparagus ends trimmed
- 1 pound carrots peeled and cut into strips
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice freshly squeezed
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Place the trimmed asparagus and carrot strips on the baking sheet, ensuring they are in a single layer for even cooking.
Drizzle the vegetables with olive oil, then sprinkle with sea salt and black pepper. Toss everything together to coat the vegetables evenly.
Roast in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and lightly browned.
After removing from the oven, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the vegetables for a bright, citrusy flavor.
