Baking Asparagus HACK using a paper bag-
Toss trimmed asparagus with olive oil, salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon…maybe a drizzle of balsamic glaze. Put asparagus in a brown paper bag and fold over the top like a loose envelop to seal, and bake at 400°F for 18 -20 minutes. Steams inside, roasts outside—tender, never mushy. Make sure the bag is brushed with oil so it doesn’t catch fire!

A stoneground mustard crust, brown sugar for that sticky, lacquered finish, and a heaped spoonful of apricot jam that melts into the glaze and adds a subtle fruity tang.

Forget the fancy gyro pan. Half an onion. One skewer. That’s it.
