ingredients
- 2 bunches asparagus
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- Salt, to taste
Method
Step 1
Remove about ¼ inch off the bottom of your asparagus. Use a vegetable peeler to peel 3-4 inches of the asparagus stems, removing the thin, dark green top layer of the stems. This part is tough when cooked!
Step 2
Toss asparagus in olive oil and salt to taste. Place asparagus in a single layer on a large baking sheet.
Step 3
Move oven rack to the middle of your oven, about 8-9 inches from the broiler. Broil your asparagus on a high-broil for 7-9 minutes until they’re bright green, and the tips are lightly crispy.
