Instructions
1. Preheat the broiler and put the rack 4-6 inches below it. Rinse the asparagus. Using both hands, snap off and discard the tough bottom ends of the asparagus spears. (They will naturally break at the right spot.) Put them on a plate and toss with the olive oil and a light sprinkling of salt and pepper.
2. Arrange the asparagus in one layer on a shallow baking sheet. Spread them apart so there’s a little space between each spear. Broil, shaking the pan once or twice, until they’re tender and brown in spots, 8-10 minutes.
3. Drizzle with the best olive oil you have, plus more salt and pepper to taste.
