Roasted Asparagus

 

1 bunch thin asparagus (about 1 1/2 pounds)

1 1/2 tsp. olive oil

3 garlic cloves, finely chopped

1/4 tsp. coarse sea salt

 

Preheat oven to 500ûF. Lightly coat baking sheet with

non-stick spray. Bend the asparagus until it snaps and

discard the woody ends, if necessary.

Arrange the stalks in a single layer on the prepared

baking sheet. In a small dish, combine the oil and the

garlic. Drizzle over the asparagus. Sprinkle with the salt.

Roast for 5 minutes. Shake the pan to redistribute the oil.

Roast for 3 to 5 minutes longer, or until tender.
