List of Ingredients
Baked Asparagus
Traditionally prepared by steaming, asparagus can also be boiled and/or baked. Buy firm asparagus spears that are completely closed at the bud end. Fat spears are just as tender as thin ones, if you peel them slightly. To peel use a vegetable peeler and begin at the butt end, cutting more shallow as you near the tip end.
Ingredients:
Fresh asparagus (peeled)
Best quality olive oil
Freshly squeezed lemon juice
Salt and freshly ground pepper
Directions:
Place the spears in a single layer in a shallow baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil (1 tablespoon per ½ lb asparagus). Bake in a preheated 500 degrees Farenheit oven 8-10 minutes or until tender when pierced with a fork. Season to taste with lemon juice, salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
