asparagus
Ready, Set, Cook! This recipe is super easy, snappy and tasty. What more could you ask for.
Preheat the oven to 350.
Get a fresh bunch of asparagus and cut off the bottom inch of the stem.
Take out a cookie sheet.
Use a paper bag (i.e. what you get the from the grocery store) and open it, and set on top of the cookie sheet.
Next place all of the asparagus in the bottom of the bag.
Drizzle with olive oil. A word on olive oil, buy the good stuff, invest in it as if you were buying wine. Good olive has a much richer flavor.
Squeeze lemon juice over the asparagus as well.
Sprinkle with salt (don't forget use kosher) and pepper.
Now fold the bag up as if there was nothing inside it and lay it flat on your cookie sheet.
Bake for 30 minutes. I like them tender but not soggy/stringy.
This goes great with chicken or steak. But you can also enjoy with an omelet or poached eggs.
This sounds delish! Would love to see a picture of the bagging process; would a lunch bag work in place of the grocery bag, or is it, too, thin?
ReplyDeleteA lunch bag would be too thin, and I like a grocery bag because it gives you enough space to lay the asparagus out lenthwise so it cooks easily. I will post pics the next time I make it so you can get a visual.
