Baked Asparagus

Baked Asparagus

1 bunch of asparagus, washed and ends trimmed
olive oil
kosher salt
fresh ground pepper

Turn oven to 425 degrees.  Lay asparagus on baking sheet (I use a half sheet) and sprinkle lightly with olive oil.  Lightly toss asparagus with hands to make sure olive oil is distributed evenly.  Season with salt and pepper.  Bake on middle rack for about 6-8 minutes, depending on how done you like them.  

Pretty easy, huh?  This isn't rocket science, people.

Asparagus lightly coated with olive oil.

Just after taking out of the oven.

Asparagus season is coming upon us.  Partake of the goodness before it's gone.
