Roasted Asparagus
Serves 4
Ingredients:
2 bunches of
asparagus
1/2 head of
garlic, separated & unpeeled
1-2
tablespoons olive oil
Splash of
lemon juice (optional)
Salt & pepper
to taste
Method:
-
Wash under running cold water to remove any
residue dirt.
-
The base of the asparagus spear tends to be
woody & fibrous and should removed. This is
generally a third of the way up the tip.
Another way to do this is to hold the
asparagus between your hands & bend it until
it breaks. Make sure all asparagus spears
are the same length.
-
Brush spears with a little olive oil, making
sure they are thoroughly coated.
-
Line a baking tray with foil & place the
asparagus in a single layer on the tray.
-
Add the
garlic and lemon juice to the pan.
-
Season well with salt & pepper.
-
Roast for 10-15 minutes until tender.
