Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 pound medium asparagus, tough ends trimmed
Extra-virgin olive oil
Sea salt and cracked black pepper
1/2 lemon, sliced paper thin
1 bay leaf

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and arrange an oven rack in the middle of the oven. Get yourself a paper bag large enough to hold the asparagus comfortable. Throw the asparagus in there and drizzle the outside of the bag with olive oil to keep the bag from burning. Sprinkle the asparagus with the salt and cracked pepper and toss in the lemon slices and bay leaf. Close the bag, folding it over several times and creasing the folds well to hold the steam in. Put the pan on a baking sheet, drizzle it with more olive oil, stick it in the oven, and bake for 20 minutes.
  • Take the baking sheet out of the oven and set it on top of the stove. Set a serving plate next to the stove. Using a kitchen towel or a pair of kitchen tongs, raise the bag over the plate, open the bag, and slide the asparagus out onto the plate. Drizzle with a little more olive oil and serve hot.

This is the easiest way to cook asparagus. I just threw everything in the paper bag and let the oven do the rest. The asparagus was done in no time.

I was skeptical about the paper bag method, but I'm so glad I tried it. The asparagus was cooked to perfection and had a wonderful smoky flavor.

I've tried steamed asparagus before, but this method is by far the best. The paper bag keeps the asparagus moist and evenly cooked.
