1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed
sea salt and ground black pepper to taste
brown paper bag
0.5 lemon, juiced
0.5 lemon, sliced into rounds

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Put the asparagus in a paper bag. Add salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Place lemon slices and bay leaf in the bag. Drizzle olive oil over the asparagus and rub some on the outside of the bag. Close the bag well and put it on a baking sheet.
