Yield: 4 servings

- 1 pound fresh asparagus spears
- Olive oil cooking spray…OR…2 to 3 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon dried thyme or fines herbs

Rinse the asparagus with cool water and shake off the excess water. Snap off the tough stem ends.

Coat a large baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray and spread the asparagus spears in an even layer over the sheet.

Spray the asparagus spears lightly with the cooking spray or drizzle with the olive oil. Sprinkle with the salt, pepper, and herbs and shake the pan to distribute the seasonings. Broil for about 8 minutes, shaking the pan every 3 minutes, or until the spears are tender and lightly browned.

Serve hot, topping each serving with a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese or a squeeze of lemon juice if desired.
