So Easy Roasted Aparagus

So, so simple... it's hardly even a "recipe", but it's delicious.

1 pound (454 grams) fresh asparagus
olive oil
salt

Prepare and grill on the barbecue if you prefer.

Wash and cut off the tough woody bottom inch or two of the stalks.Oil a cookie sheet with olive oil. I use an olive oil mister. It uses less oil and it's quicker, cleaner and easier.

Place the asparagus spears in a single layer on the cookie sheet.Spray or brush olive oil on the asparagus.

Sprinkle with salt and pepper. I like to mix sea salt and fresh peppercorns half and half in a grinding mill and keep it right near the stove.

Roast in a 425 degree oven for 10 -15 minutes.(Depending on how thick the asparagus is and how tender or crisp you like it.)
