Instructions

  • Heat oven to 425°F.
  • Wash asparagus and dry well with a towel.
  • Hold one spear of asparagus in your hand, and with your fingers bend the rough end until it snaps off. Where it naturally breaks is where you need to cut the remaining asparagus. Line up the tops of the spears, lay the cut spear next to them and cut the remaining spears to match its length.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place asparagus on top. Drizzle with olive oil, salt and pepper. Toss gently with your hands.
  • Place in the oven and roast for 12 to 15 minutes, until the stalks begin to shrivel and color lightly. Cook time will vary slightly depending on the thickness of your asparagus.
  • Take out of the oven. If you wish, you can add some seasonings at this stage, for example some grated lemon zest, lemon juice, herbs, grated Parmesan... or eat plain!
  • Serve immediately.
