Roasted Asparagus

It's spring and that means asparagus season. I never liked asparagus until recently, but now I love it! The kids like it too. I bribed Lilia to try it and now she loves it. Here's how we enjoy it,

INGREDIENTS:
1 bunch asparagus
Olive oil
Sea salt (tastes much better than traditional salt)
Pepper

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Rinse asparagus and place on a cutting board. Cut off any of the ends that are white or purple. This is the "woody" part and it's to rough to chew well.
2. Spread the asparagus out on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil. Season with sea salt and pepper. Give the baking sheet a good shake back and forth to coat all of them. Place in the oven for 9-13 minutes. (If the asparagus is thin, it will cook for shorter length, thicker asparagus takes longer.) Serve hot and enjoy.

NOTE FOR KIDS: If you cut the asparagus and put it on their plate before you put it on the table it more resembles green beans and they are more likely to try it. It can fool my kids at least. Good luck!
