Roasted Asparagus

Ingredients

• 2 lb fresh asparagus
• good olive oil

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
2. Break off the tough ends of the asparagus and, if they're thick, peel them.
3. Place the asparagus on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and toss to coat completely.
4. Spread in a single layer and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper.
5. Roast for 25 minutes, until tender but still crisp.
