2 lbs asparagus, trimmed
3 tablespoons greek extra virgin olive oil
salt
black pepper
1/2 teaspoon pink peppercorns, crushed slightly in a mortar
2 teaspoons snipped fresh dill
1/2 cup crumbled feta
1 teaspoon fresh strained lemon juice

Steps:

Toss the asparagus with 2 tablespoons olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Place in a large shallow baking pan in one layer and roast until tender, abut 10-15 minutes.
Shake the pan once about halfway through roasting, to keep the asparagus from burning.
