BAKED ASPARAGUS

I'm a huge aspargus lover. It's true. I have this weird fetish with Asparagus. I can't get enough of it. I could eat it every day. This recipe makes 2 servings, but remember that everybody's diets are slightly different. If you're looking for more carbs & calories {like a mass gaining cycle} add more servings to your plate. If you're looking to cut carbs and calories, then stick with a serving or two. My recipes are pretty easy to calculate to when it comes to tweaking serving sizes.



BAKED ASPARAGUS
Servings: 2
Bake: 400 degrees
Bake Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients
16 Fresh Asparagus Spears
Sea Salt, to taste
1 tsp Fresh Thyme
Pam Olive Oil Spray

Directions
1. Wash your asparagus under cold water and pat dry with a paper towel. Lay asparagus out on cutting board. Take one piece of asparagus and slowly bend it till the stalk snaps. Line up the top of your aspargus stalk with the rest of the bundle and cut them to match the length of your first aspargus stalk. Throw the bottoms away.

2. Take a shallow baking pan and spray lightly with olive oil. Spread out asparagus onto pan so that they aren't laying on top of one another. You want them to lay out evenly. Spray asparagus lightly with olive oil. Sprinkle fresh thyme and sea salt over the top of them.

3. Bake in oven at 400 degrees for 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from oven when done and let them cool for 5 minutes. Serve while still hot. Enjoy!
