Ingredients

  • 1/2 teaspoon anise seeds
  • 1 pound asparagus, trimmed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Method

  • Preheat oven to 450F.
  • In an electric coffee/spice grinder or with a mortar and pestle grind anise seeds fine.
  • Cut asparagus diagonally into 2-inch pieces and in a shallow baking pan large enough to hold asparagus in one layer toss with anise, oil, and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Roast asparagus in middle of oven, shaking pan occasionally, until crisp-tender and golden, 5 to 8 minutes.
