Broiled Asparagus
3 servings
Asparagus is at its best when you keep it simple. Just a little seasoning and broiling does the trick!
Ingredients
Makes 3 Servings
- 1 pound (454 g) asparagus
- 1 tsp (5 mL) lemon juice
- 1/4 tsp (1.2 mL) iodized salt
- lemon pepper
Directions
-
Set the oven or toaster oven to broil. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Wash and trim the asparagus. (Use a knife or break off ends where they naturally snap.) Pat the asparagus dry, and transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
-
Sprinkle with the lemon juice, toss to coat, and then sprinkle with the salt.
-
Broil for 5 to 6 minutes, or until the asparagus turns bright green. Remove, sprinkle with the lemon pepper (if using), and serve.
