Roasted Asparagus

    1 lb. asparagus
    1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
    1/4 teaspoon salt

  Preheat oven to 425F. Cut off the woody bottom part of the
 asparagus spears and discard. With a vegetable peeler, peel off the
 skin on the bottom 2-3" of the spears. Place asparagus on foil lined
 baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt. With
 your hands, roll the asparagus around until they are evenly coated
 with oil and salt. Roast for 10-15 minutes, depending on the
 thickness of your stalks and how tender you like them. They should
 be tender when pierced with the tip of a knife. The tips of the
 spears will get very brown but watch them to prevent burning.
