Place asparagus on a small baking sheet or platter; set aside.
Stir together olive oil with lemon essential oil and coriander essential oil.
Drizzle 2 teaspoons oil over asparagus and season with salt and pepper. Toss asparagus until well coated.
Roast in a preheated 375 degree oven or grill over direct medium-high heat for 8 to 15 minutes depending on the size of the asparagus.
