Amazing Asparagus
I am absolutely obsessed with asparagus! Although I would
refuse to eat it as a kid, I have grown to love to eat it as an adult. Since
asparagus is in season right now (February through June), I am cooking it all
of the time!
Ingredients
1.
2 bunches of asparagus (around 2 pounds)
2.
Spray olive oil
3.
Pepper
4.
Sea Salt
Directions
1.
Pre-heat the oven to 400.
2.
Line pan with foil and spray with non-stick
spray.
3.
Rinse and drain the asparagus.
4.
Break off the tough ends. I break off the end of
one asparagus, and then use that asparagus as my cutting guide. I will line the
cutting guide asparagus up with the uncut asparagus, and then use a knife to
cut off the tough ends of the remaining asparagus. This is a huge time saver,
and it makes all of the asparagus nice and uniform.
5.
Line the washed and cut asparagus on the pan.
6.
Spray with olive oil. Sprinkle the pepper and
sea salt on the asparagus.
7.
Cook for a total of 30 minutes. I usually turn the
tray around at the 15 minute point, so they do not burn on one end, and cook
for the remainder 15 minutes.
8.
Enjoy your amazing asparagus!
*Time will vary based on the thickness of the asparagus.
Thicker asparagus might take a bit longer; the skinnier asparagus will take a
shorter time.
*I will cook this vegetable side in the oven even when we
are grilling out. That way it frees up more grill space for meat and other
vegetables, but we still get the cooked asparagus (sometimes I cook it longer
to get that crispy grilled look and taste)!
