Ingredients
- 1 bunch asparagus
- 1 tsp olive oil
- pinch of sea salt
- freshly ground pepper
- a few grates of lemon zest optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F.
- Break or trim the tougher bottom parts of the spears (about 1 inch) and discard.
- On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, toss the asparagus spears in 1 tsp of olive oil using your hands. Be sure to rub some of the oil into the tops of the asparagus, so they get nice and crispy.
- Generously salt and pepper, and roast for 9-12 minutes, depending on how thick the spears are.
- Top with a little lemon zest and enjoy!
