Instructions: Heat the oven to 350 degrees with a baking sheet inside. Trim and peel the asparagus to the point on the stem where it is most tender. Wash well.

While still moist and wet, drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Place on the preheated baking sheet, and roast until tender to the point of a knife, 25 to 30 minutes, depending on the size of the asparagus.

Serves 4 to 6.
