Roasted Asparagus

Serves 4

Ingredients:

1 bunch asparagus (or more, as you like)
olive oil
salt
lemon zest or juice (optional but delicious)

Heat oven to 400. While oven heats, trim asparagus. You can either break off the tough ends where they naturally snap when you grab both ends of an asparagus spear and bend it, or, for a more elegant presentation, you can trim off any dried part at the end of each spear and peel the spears. Lay the asparagus spears in a baking dish or on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle lightly with salt. Bake asparagus until tender and starting to brown at the tips, about 15 minutes. Sprinkle with freshly grated lemon zest or squirt with fresh lemon juice, if you like. If you have a meyer lemon, its floral aroma pairs particularly well with asparagus. Serve Roasted Asparagus warm or at room temperature.
