Roasted Asparagus

By ShoDav

Ingredients

• 2 pounds fresh asparagus
• Good olive oil
• Kosher salt, plus extra for sprinkling
• Freshly ground black pepper
• Optional: Parmesan cheese

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Break off the tough ends of the asparagus. Place the asparagus on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil, drizzle with olive oil, then toss to coat the asparagus completely. Spread the asparagus in a single layer and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper.

Roast the asparagus for 25 minutes, until tender but still crisp. Top with parmesan if desired.
