I love asparagus so every time it is on sale at my grocery store I like to buy it and make a meal out of it.  To make roasted asparagus

Ingredients:

1 pound of asparagus

1-2 tsp of olive oil

Course Salt

Pepper

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Wash asparagus and break of the tough bottom part off, about 1-2 inches should break off.  Place the asparagus on the baking sheet and drizzle them with olive oil.  Then roll the asparagus around so that they are evenly coated with olive oil.  Salt and pepper them to your liking.  Place baking sheet in heated oven and cook for about 15-20 minutes.   Taste one after 15 minutes to see if they are soft enough, if not put them back in for a couple more minutes at a time (Don’t burn your mouth,  they are HOT!). 

Enjoy!
