Ingredients:  
21/2 to 3 pounds asparagus, tough bottoms trimmed (thin asparagus is preferable)
2 T. olive oil
2 T. fresh lemon juice
Grated peel or zest of 1 lemon
Kosher salt and pepper to taste
3 T. fresh chopped dill
Directions:
Directions:
Preheat oven to 425º. If the asparagus is thick, use a vegetable peeler to peel the large bottom halves to make the asparagus more uniform in thickness. Arrange the spears on a baking sheet.

Combine the oil, lemon and zest in a small bowl and whisk well. Drizzle this mixture over the asparagus. Roast the asparagus for 10 minutes and remove from oven (don't worry if the asparagus does not look cooked--it will continue to cook as it cools.) Transfer to serving dish and season lightly with salt and pepper and sprinkle with dill. Serve warm or at room temperature. Makes 8 servings.
