Ingredients

  • 1 pound asparagus one bushel/bundle
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt flaky
  • 1 lemon
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Start by prepping the asparagus by trimming off the woody ends. Hold the asparagus stalk in the center with one hand and gently bend the end with the other.
    The end will snap off in a natural spot. 
  • Place the asparagus on a baking sheet. Drizzle the olive oil over the top.
  • Toss the asparagus so all the stalks get coated in the oil. 
  • Then, spread them in one layer, or as close to one layer as you can. 
  • Sprinkle the salt over everything.
  • Bake at 425°F for 8-12 minutes.
  • Squeeze some fresh lemon juice over the asparagus just before serving.

Notes

  • While it's not necessary to cover your baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil, you can if you want to make clean up a little easier.
