This is an especially good way to prepare asparagus, if the oven is already in use for another dish.

Roasted Asparagus Recipe (+)

Directions

Preheat oven to 450Â° F. If oven is in use at a different temperature, wait until food being cooked is finished, raise the heat and roast the asparagus so that it can be served immediately--it will only take about 10 minutes.
Wash asparagus and trim off tough ends. Put asparagus on baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil (rub it on with your hands, or stir the spears around a bit to get them coated with oil). Salt lightly. Roast until just barely tender, 8-15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the spears.
Drizzle with lemon juice and serve immediately.

Container: rimmed baking sheet or roasting pan
