Ingredients

2 bunches of asparagus
olive oil
salt and pepper

Cooking Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

Trim the tough bottom sections off of the asparagus. Rinse in water, drain, and pat dry with paper towels. Place the asparagus on a heavy, rimmed baking sheet and drizzle liberally with olive oil (a few tablespoons should be enough). Toss lightly to coat with the oil and then spread the asparagus evenly out on the sheet. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper.

Bake in the oven for about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven, and turn the asparagus spears over with tongs to prevent them from sticking. Cook for another 5 minutes or so until the asparagus is crispy at the tips and slightly browned. Remove from the oven, season to taste with more salt and pepper if needed, and serve.
