It is surprising how delicious these delicate spears can be when roasted in a very hot oven. A fine first course.
Preheat the oven to 500┬░F.
Snap off the bottoms and peel the lower halves of:
1 pound asparagus
Arrange the spears in a single layer in a shallow baking dish and drizzle over them very lightly:
Extra-virgin olive oil
Toss the spears to coat lightly. Roast until tender but still slightly firm, 8 to 10 minutes. Sprinkle with:
Salt and ground black pepper to taste
Extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley, tarragon, and/or chives
Serve as a first course at room temperature, garnished with:
Lemon wedges
