Bahan-bahan

4 porsi

1 pound asparagus
1 ½ teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
Toppings of your choice (optional)
Lemon zest and juice
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Red pepper flakes ((just a pinch))
Thyme* ((1 teaspoon fresh or a slightly heaping 1/4 teaspoon of dried))
Basil* ((1 tablespoon fresh or 1 teaspoon dried))
Drizzle balsamic reduction or aged balsamic vinegar
Drizzle of melted butter

Langkah-langkah

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. For easy cleanup, line a rimmed baking with parchment paper or aluminum foil. You may lightly coat it with non-stick spray too.
Snap off the woody ends of the asparagus by holding the stem end in one hand and gripping it near the base with the other. Briskly bend and the asparagus will naturally snap in the right place (I find this task very satisfying). Discard the stem ends.
Arrange the asparagus on the baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and any dried herbs you are using. Toss to coat, then spread into an even layer.
Bake the asparagus for 9 to 11 minutes (for thin stalks) or 15 to 20 minutes (for thicker stalks), just until it easily pierces with a fork.
Sprinkle the asparagus with your toppings of choice. My favorite is lemon zest and juice, a sprinkle of Parmesan, and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Enjoy hot or at room temperature.
