Ingredients

  • 1 lb fresh asparagus
  • drizzle of olive oil
  • slice of lemon
  • pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  • 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

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.
