Asparagus develops a lovely, rich flavour when roasted and this is probably my favourite method of cooking it. Simply pre-heat the oven to 220Â°C, gas mark 7, line a tray with foil or baking paper, lay the asparagus spears onto the tray, drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. I also like to add a couple of fresh cloves of garlic and a little freshly grated of lemon zest. Roast for ten minutes.
