1 bunch Asparagusasparagus
4 Tablespoons (up To 5 Tablespoons) Olive Oilolive-oil
Kosher Salt To Tastesalt
Freshly Ground Black Pepper, To Tastepepper

Instructions (6 steps)

01Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
02After you wash the asparagus thoroughly, stack a bunch together and lop off the tough/thick bottom an inch or so.
03Spread out the asparagus in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Pat it as dry as you can, as you don’t want any water to “steam” the asparagus in the oven.
04Begin by generously drizzling olive oil all over the asparagus and then sprinkle the asparagus generously with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
05Roast the asparagus for about ten minutes. The secret here is for the oven to be very hot so the asparagus can begin to brown on the outside without overcooking and getting too flimsy. You want the finished asparagus to still have a bite to it.
