Roasted Asparagus

I never ate asparagus as a child.  My first taste was in college when we were served asparagus omelets.  I was not a fan.  But I like other roasted vegetables, so I thought I’d give these a try.  They’re great!  The tops get a little crunch, and the olive oil and salt add flavor.  Tim always points out that asparagus makes your pee smell funny.  Dinner table conversation with a family of boys, what can I say?

1 bunch fresh asparagus
Olive oil
Garlic salt

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.  Wash the asparagus, and cut or break off the tough ends.  Pile the asparagus onto a baking pan, and drizzle with olive oil, letting it drip down onto the asparagus below.  Spread the asparagus into a single layer, and salt to taste.  Bake for 20-25 minutes until desired doneness.
