Ingredients
- 1 lb fresh thin asparagus
- 2 tbs olive oil

Instructions
- Fire your oven until it reaches 700ºF, and then allow the temperature to fall to about 500ºF, maintaining a bed of coals to lightly brown the asparagus.
- Remove the tough asparagus stems.
- Add 2 Tbs olive oil and the asparagus to a stainless steel or cast iron pan. Toss to mix, and then season with salt and pepper.
- Roast in a moderate oven for a few minutes, until lightly brown but still a little crisp.
Notes
Options
Splash the lemon juice into the hot pan right before serving. It will sizzle and reduce to make a nice sauce.
