Ingredients
Ingredients
1 bunchasparagus
2 tablespoons avocado oil
Coarse sea salt, to taste
Preparation
If asparagus has tough, woody ends, snap them off and discard.
Spread asparagus spears on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with avocado oil and then toss to coat evenly and redistribute in a single layer. Sprinkle lightly with sea salt.
Place the oven rack about four inches beneath the broiler element. Preheat broiler.
Broil asparagus in the oven for 4-8 minutes, watching closely to make sure they turn bright green and develop some light blistering but do not char. If your broiler has both a low and high heat setting, you might prefer to start it on low and then increase to high for just the last minute or two.
Remove from the oven. Let sit for 2-3 minutes, then serve.
