- ¼ teaspoon Garlic Powder
- ¼ teaspoon Onion Powder
- ½ teaspoon Italian Seasoning crushed between fingers

Combine seasonings together in a small bowl and set aside. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper and set aside.
Add the prepared asparagus spears to a bowl and drizzle with olive oil then sprinkle with the prepared seasoning blend. Use fingers to gently massage the spears to coat.
