Garlic Asparagus - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 lb fresh asparagus
1 tablespoon of crushed garlic
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
kosher sea salt
fresh pepper

Preparation

Heat the oven for @ 400 degrees.
Clean and cut off the thick ends (about 1 inch) of the asparagus and place in a deep baking dish (glass or porcelain preferred). With a pastry brush, brush on the crushed garlic in both vertical and horizontal directions to coat the vegetable. Drizzle the olive oil (add more if desired) in a horizontal direction from left to right. Finish off the asparagus by lightly dusting the top with the sea salt and fresh ground pepper. Bake in the oven uncovered for @ 15-20 minutes. When the asparagus looks tender, change the oven temperature setting to broil for @ 5 minutes to deepen and crisp the tips of the vegetable.
Serve immediately!
