Yields: 2-4 servings
Prep time: 5 minutes
Cook time: 10-15 minutes  

Ingredients

• 1 Jar Sweet Home Pickled Asparagus
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• Optional: Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).  
2. Toss with Oil and Seasoning: Place the asparagus on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and toss gently to coat. Sprinkle generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.  
3. Roast: Spread the asparagus in a single layer on the baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender-crisp and slightly browned. The exact cooking time will depend on the thickness of your asparagus spears.  
4. Serve: Transfer the roasted asparagus to a serving dish. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top, if desired. Serve immediately.
