Roast asparagus this way and it becomes positively juicy. You'd think one pound would be enough for four people, but in my experience the thick stalks - the best kind to use - are really irresistible. Err on the side of extravagance, and polish up any leftovers for lunch the next day.

Categories     easy, quick, side dish

Time 20m

Yield Serves four to six

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 pounds thick asparagus, woody ends snapped off
2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
Salt
freshly ground pepper
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (optional)
Fresh lemon juice (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Oil a baking sheet or a baking dish large enough to hold the asparagus in one layer. Place the asparagus in the dish, and toss with the olive oil, salt and pepper. Place in the oven and roast for 10 to 15 minutes, until the stalks begin to shrivel and color lightly.
  • Remove from the heat, toss with the thyme and season with lemon juice if desired.
