Asparagus with Indian spices and broiled to perfection by foodjoya

What You Need:
 1.50 lbs asparagus, tough ends trimmed
  tsp ground cumin
  tsp ground coriander
 2.50 tbsp avocado oil
 ¼ tsp salt
 freshly ground pepper to taste
 ½ small fresh lemon (optional)
What to Do:
1

Adjust an oven rack to uppermost position and set the broiler on high. (We are using the broiler function in our Wolf Subzero countertop oven .) Line a baking sheet with heavy duty aluminum foil.

2

Mix avocado oil with cumin, coriander, salt and ground pepper and toss with the asparagus spears. Lay the asparagus with Indian spices in a single layer on the baking sheet.

3

If you're working with thin asparagus spears, broil for about 8 to 10 minutes, flipping them after 5 minutes of broiling. For thicker stalks, increase the broiling time to 12 to 15, turning the stalks after 8 minutes of cooking.

4

Transfer the Asparagus with Indian Spices to a platter. Squeeze the juice from the lemon over it and serve warm.

Enjoy!
