Lemon Asparagus

Ingredients

• 1 bunch fresh asparagus, trimmed
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• Salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 1/2 cup lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon butter

Directions

Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.

Coat asparagus with vegetable and arrange on a baking sheet. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Roast in preheated oven until lightly browned at the tips, about 15 minutes.
