Baked Asparagus



Most people like to sauté or steam their asparagus, but I personally love the texture they have when they are baked. Slightly crisp and very soft and tender on the inside. It doesn't take long, and it's a great side dish for just about any meal.

Baked Asparagus
1 bundle of asparagus
3 tablespoons of butter
1 teaspoon of salt
1 teaspoon of pepper
1 half of a lemon

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Arrange asparagus on baking sheet and add slices of butter on top of them, Add salt and pepper and squeeze lemon juice evenly over it. Put in the oven for about 10 minutes, half way through you want to make sure to move the pan around a bit to get them to cook evenly. Serve immediately.
