Ingredients

  • fresh Rosemary

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Set oven to 425F
  2. Trim the ends off the asparagus.
  3. Thinly slice the orange. Arrange t the slices on a baking sheet.
  4. Lay the asparagus over the oranges and then drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Scatter some fresh rosemary over the asparagus.
  5. Roast until the asparagus is tender, about 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the girth of your asparagus. If you are brave, you can do this whole thing under the broiler, but you need to watch it like a hawk. I like the slight charring that the broiler gives to the asparagus and oranges.
  6. Replace any charred rosemary sprigs with fresh ones before serving.
