- 1 lb fresh asparagus
- drizzle of olive oil
- slice of lemon
- pinch of sea salt
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. (See notes below for different oven temperatures).
Clean asparagus and snap off woody ends.
Wrap spears in parchment paper, tucking the ends under so the packet remains closed during roasting. Wrapping is not necessary if you are roasting at temperatures higher than 325℉.
Drizzle olive oil over spears, sprinkle with sea salt and toss in lemon slice.
Roast 30 to 60 minutes depending on how 'al dente' you like your asparagus.
Notes: Cooking times are approximate for medium size stalks to be tender crisp. Time will vary if our stalks are thinner or thicker. Check your asparagus and ajust accordingly.
