Step 1

Remove about ¼ inch off the bottom of your asparagus.

Step 2

Optional: use a vegetable peeler to peel 3-4 inches of the asparagus stems, removing the thin, dark green top layer of the stems. This part is tougher when cooked!

Step 3

Toss asparagus in olive oil and salt to taste. Place asparagus in a single layer on a large baking sheet.

Step 4

Move oven rack to the middle of your oven, about 8-9 inches from the broiler. Broil your asparagus on a high-broil for 7-9 minutes until they’re bright green, and the tips are lightly crispy. Serve hot or room temperature!
