Time 30m

Yield 4 , 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 lb asparagus spear, washed and prepared
coarse salt
cooking spray, olive oil flavored

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°.
  • Wash asparagus spears and cut off the tough ends.
  • Lay the spears on paper towels to soak up excess water.
  • Gently spray a large flat baking pan with olive oil flavored cooking spray. (I use a 9"X13" in metal or glass pan).
  • Lay the asparagus spears in the pan. Preferably all laying flat on the bottom of the pan.
  • Generously spray the spears with cooking spray, any flavor--olive oil is good as well as butter flavored spray.
  • Place the pan in the oven on a rack above center, but not on the top rack.
  • Bake for 25 minutes or until roasted and slightly brown.
  • If baked for 25 minutes and the spears are not as brown as desired, broil for two or three minutes.
  • Remove from oven, sprinkle with coarse ground salt and serve immediately.
