Roasted Asparagus

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. Wash asparagus.
  2. To cut and discard woody end of stalk, select a piece of asparagus and bend to find its breaking point or snapping point.
  3. Only use the spear and tip for this recipe.
  4. Use this snapped piece of asparagus as a guide for cutting the rest of the pieces.
  5. Meanwhile pour oil, salt, and pepper into a transparent gallon plastic bag.
  6. Then add the asparagus.
  7. Seal bag and shake until the asparagus is evenly coated.
  8. Heat lightly oiled 8-9 inch cast iron skillet in 400-450° brick oven for about 5 minutes.
  9. Then add the asparagus and spread out evenly into the hot skillet.
  10. Cook in brick oven for 2-3 minutes.
  11. Use metal tongs to pick up a piece of asparagus to inspect its texture.
  12. Indicators that asparagus is done cooking are dark green color and the shaft becomes limp.
  13. Even if you do not really like the taste of asparagus much, you’re probably going to like the taste, because it’s that good!

You really don’t have to stir the asparagus much while it’s cooking since the heat comes from all sides of the brick oven. I prefer to use a cast iron skillet with the grill lines in it for all my veggies. I like the little marks it leaves! Instead of using a brand new gallon size plastic bag save and reuse your bags. Recycle!
