Oven Roasted Asparagus

I love this recipe. It's so easy to make and so good. When you cook during the week, quick is a necessity. You can substitute broccoli florets in this recipe and use whatever spices you like. I sometimes add garlic powder or crushed red pepper flakes.

Oven-Roasted Asparagus

1 bunch asparagus, cleaned and bottoms trimmed
1 tbs. extra-virgin olive oil
salt and pepper to taste

Remove some of the excess water from the cleaned asparagus and place on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil. Salt and pepper to taste. Toss, until all pieces are coated. Spread out on baking sheet and place in preheated 375 degree oven. Bake for 10 minutes.

Now I wish I had bought the beautiful asparagus that I saw at Stop and Shop. It was sooooo thin and looked perfect.
