Roast whole slices of lemon along with the asparagus for a beautiful look and sparkling, bright taste. Great with seafood, especially salmon or scallops
.

2 lemons, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano, or 1 teaspoon dried
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

Preparation:
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
Toss asparagus, lemon slices, oil, oregano, salt and pepper on a large rimmed baking sheet. Roast, shaking the pan occasionally to toss, until the asparagus is tender-crisp, 13 to 15 minutes.

Thanks for the recipe, MaryJ.  My DH says that I like Asparagus like he likes fried potatoes.  Watercress and Asparagus have to be at the top of my green veggie list.  JF
