Roasted Asparagus

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Snap or cut off the fibrous ends of the asparagus and discard.

Place the asparagus in a bowl and toss with the olive oil. Spread it out in a single layer onto a thick, rimmed baking sheet. Roast the asparagus, shaking the pan occasionally, until tender and browned, about 10 to 15 minutes. Sprinkle with the salt.

Transfer to a heated platter and garnish with the lemon wedges.

This recipe yields 4 to 6 servings.

"Don't expect this asparagus to be green and crunchy. It will be browned, soft and sweetly delicious. It needs nothing more than a sprinkling of coarse-grained salt."
