Roasted Asparagus
"Al Forno"

2 servings

• 1/2 pound fresh asparagus, peeled
• 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
• 2 lemon wedges
•    fresh ground black pepper

Preheat oven to 500°. Place the asparagus on a baking sheet in a single layer, not touching. Drizzle with the oil.

Roast the asparagus in the upper third of the oven, turning occasionally, until the spears are tender when pierced with a fork. This will take about 8 to 10 minutes, depending on the thickness of the spears.

Place the asparagus on a serving platter. Garnish with lemon wedges and pass the pepper mill at the table

Bon appetit!
