pounds asparagus spears

1/4
cup extra-virgin olive oil

1/4
teaspoon sea salt or salt

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Snap off woody bases from asparagus; discard. If stems are tough, remove outer layers with a vegetable peeler. Arrange asparagus in a single layer in a 15x10x1-inch baking pan. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt. Roast, uncovered, for 10 to 15 minutes or until crisp-tender. Season with freshly ground black pepper. Sprinkle with chopped preserved lemons. Makes 8 to 10 servings.
