Ingredients
Makes 6 servings
Step 1
1. Preheat the oven to 450°F, preheat the broiler or a gas grill, or start a charcoal or wood fire. If you're roasting or broiling, place the asparagus in a roasting pan and drizzle with a tablespoon or two of oil; sprinkle with salt. If you're grilling, brush the asparagus with oil and sprinkle with salt. Place in the oven, under the broiler, or on the grill.
Step 2
2. Roast or grill, turning the spears once or twice, just until the thick part of the stalks can be pierced with a knife, 10 to 15 minutes. Broiling time will be shorter, taking 5 to 10 minutes total. Serve immediately or at room temperature, with lemon wedges.

I broiled the asparagus with olive oil and kosher salt--very easy--and much tastier than simply steaming it.

This is a fine recipe for making asparagus. We used the roasting method and the timing was good. We forgot the lemon but didn't miss it. Very basic.
