Ingredients

  • 1 bunch of asparagus (about 1 lb), tough ends trimmed
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F and set an oven rack in the middle position. Line a 13x18-inch baking sheet with heavy-duty aluminum foil.
  2. Spread the asparagus in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with the oil and sprinkle with the salt and pepper. Shake the pan to coat the asparagus evenly.
  3. Roast the asparagus until crisp-tender, about 6 to 8 minutes, depending on the thickness of the asparagus.
