Cooking Steps
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) or heat a grill to medium-high heat.
Wash the asparagus and trim the woody ends.
Peel the asparagus using a vegetable peeler, starting at the base and moving towards the tip. This step is optional, but it makes the asparagus more tender and easier to eat.
Grease a baking sheet with olive oil or spray with cooking spray.
Arrange the asparagus in a single layer on the baking sheet or grill.
Drizzle the asparagus with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and black pepper.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or grill for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until the asparagus is tender and crispy.
Serve immediately.
