Directions

  1. Take each spear of asparagus and break it towards the end, wherever it naturally snaps, to remove woody ends. Place asparagus in a microwave-safe glass container with a lid. Pour in water.

  2. Roll lemon on a flat work surface to release the juices, slice in half. Squeeze each half over the asparagus. Sprinkle with pepper and garlic powder.

  3. Cover container and place in the microwave. Cook on high until tender-crisp, 5 to 6 minutes. Drain and let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
