Roasted Asparagus

Ingredients


1 bunch asparagus (about 1 pound)

Juice of 1/2 orange or 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

2 tablespoons chopped mixed fresh herbs, such as parsley, thyme and mint


Instructions:

ONE: Preheat oven to 450°F.

TWO: Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

THREE: Trim off the tough end from each stalk of asparagus (about the last 1 1/2 inches or so) and arrange spears on baking sheet. Squeeze orange or drizzle vinegar over asparagus, toss to coat and season with pepper.

FOUR: Roast, shaking the baking sheet occasionally, until just tender, 8 to 10 minutes, watching carefully after 5 minutes to avoid overcooking. Transfer to a platter, scatter herbs over the top and serve.
