This is a simple and delicious way to prepare and serve asparagus. Recipe from Tyler's Ultimate, by Tyler Florence. Ingredients:
1 lb medium asparagus, trimmed |
extra virgin olive oil |
1/2 lemon, very thinly sliced |
1 bay leaf |
sea salt |
black pepper |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350° with rack placed in the center position.
2. Place asparagus in a brown paper bag large enough to hold the asparagus comfortably.
3. Drizzle with oil to prevent the bag from burning.
4. Add the lemon slices and bay leaf; season with salt and pepper.
5. Close the bag by folding it over several times and creasing the folds well to retain the steam in the bag.
6. Place bag on a baking sheet, and drizzle with more olive oil.
7. Bake for 20 minutes.
8. Shake bag a few times before carefully opening; transfer asparagus to platter.
9. Drizzle with more oil; serve immediately.
