The simplest way to prepare asparagus is in the oven or on the grill. Check with your local authority on how to inspect asparagus for infestation.

2 lbs fresh asparagus
good olive oil
kosher salt, plus extra for sprinkling
freshly ground black pepper
1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
2
Break off the tough ends of the asparagus and peel them.
3
Place the asparagus on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, then toss to coat the asparagus completely. Spread the asparagus in a single layer and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. Roast the asparagus for about 15 Minutes, depending on how thick the stalks are, until tender but still crisp.
