Here is another quick recipe that I can’t quite remember where I picked it up, but it is an easy and delicious way to make asparagus.
Asparagus
black olives
Cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper
Wash and dry your asparagus, trimming the ends where they get tough. Place in a baking dish and scatter the tomatoes and black olives on top (I like adding healthy amounts of both). Drizzle olive oil across everything, and if you have more than one layer of asparagus (too many to fit on the bottom of the dish), then mix it all together a bit. Grind some salt and pepper on top and place in an oven set for 350 F. After 10 minutes, stir the dish again. Continue to check for when the dish is done, but my recollection is that it takes about 20 minutes.
I have also added basil, a touch of white wine, or a touch of rice vinegar to this.
