  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon Papa Joe's Salt or combination of salt and pepper

  • Preheat oven to 400°. Rinse and dry your asparagus. Trim the ends of the asparagus (cut about ½ inch from each stalk) and arrange on a parchment lined half sheet pan.
  • Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. and roll the asparagus around on the sheet pan a little so that they are completely covered with the olive oil.

  • Roast at 400° for 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and transfer to a dish for serving.
