Ingredients
1 1/2 pounds thick asparagus
2 tablespoons olive oil
Coarse salt
1 1/2 teaspoons sesame seeds
Preparation
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Trim ends from asparagus; cut stalks into 2-inch lengths. Place asparagus in a roasting pan; drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt. Toss to combine.
Spread asparagus evenly. Roast 10 minutes, turning asparagus halfway through. Add sesame seeds, and continue roasting until asparagus is lightly browned in spots and tender, about 5 minutes more.
