Ingredients

1 lb Asparagus fresh fat spears, woody ends trimmed, skins peeled or striped if you like

2 lemons sliced very thin

2 Tbsp olive oil

1 Tsp dried oregano rubbed between fingers to release the herbal oil (or 4 teaspoons fresh)

Salt Good quality, sprinkle (Maldon salt is lovely)

Black Pepper Sprinkle

Directions

Preheat oven to 450F. Combine all the ingredients well on a rimmed baking sheet, making sure to completely coat all the spears with oil. If roasting the lemon slices a little longer, put the asparagus spears aside for the moment. Slip just the lemons into the oven for 5 minutes. Roast for 13 - 15 minutes, shaking the pan to toss a couple of times. Turn the lemon slices over halfway through. Serve and enjoy!
