Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 1/2 to 3 pounds asparagus, trimmed and peeled
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Salt to taste
Lemon wedges

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 450°F, preheat the broiler or a gas grill, or start a charcoal or wood fire. If you're roasting or broiling, place the asparagus in a roasting pan and drizzle with a tablespoon or two of oil; sprinkle with salt. If you're grilling, brush the asparagus with oil and sprinkle with salt. Place in the oven, under the broiler, or on the grill.
  • 2. Roast or grill, turning the spears once or twice, just until the thick part of the stalks can be pierced with a knife, 10 to 15 minutes. Broiling time will be shorter, taking 5 to 10 minutes total. Serve immediately or at room temperature, with lemon wedges.
