Roasted Asparagus

This is my favorite cooking method for cooking Asparagus. This makes a quick and easy snack or a great appetizer if you wrap them, by two, in proscuitto and top with shaved machego cheese.

You can roast, carrots, broccoli, and other vegetables the same way.

1 package of fresh Asparagus

2 Tablespoons of Kosher Salt

Pepper to taste

Other favorite spices - to taste

Olive Oil in Spray bottle

directions:

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

Place Asparagus on a single layer on the Silpat. Spray with Olive oil. Sprinkle with Salt and spices to taste. Bake for about 15 minutes. Watch carefully not to burn -- all ovens vary in temperature.

Serve warm.
