Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 lb fresh asparagus
2-3 tsp kosher salt, or to taste
1-2 tsp coarse black pepper, or to taste
1/4-1/3 c black truffle oil, (or canola or olive oil)
4-5 clove garlic minced(optional)

Steps:

1. Cut or trim fiberous bottom portion of asparagus from the bottom of spears, usually about 2 inches or at least where bottom end breaks off easily. PREHEAT OVEN TO 425 DEGREES F. Note where it breaks easily is the beginning of the tender part. Try to choose smaller spears, because they are usually more tender.
2. Wash & dry asparagus
3. Line a shallow pan with foil for easy clean up, then spray with non stick cooking spray.
4. Arrange asparagus in a single layer in pan.
5. Drizzle sparingly with truffle oil, then roll asparagus back and forth to coat all sides. NOTE: I ORDERED MY TRUFFLE OIL FROM AMAZON.
6. Sprinkle with Kosher salt, & Black pepper, then roll back and forth to coat all sides.Add minced Garlic if desired.
7. Place in Preheated 425 degrees oven & Roast for 15 to 20 minutes till crisp tender.
8. Remove from oven and serve while hot. Please Note: Although Black Truffle Oil is quite expensive, you use it sparingly, and a little goes a long way, and it really does ENHANCE THE FLAVOR OF WHAT EVER YOU ARE USING IT ON, ESPECIALLY STEAKS.
