Wash the asparagus and cut off the woody ends. Put the olive oil in a wide baking dish.
Select the size of the pan so that the asparagus fits in one or at most two layers so that it cooks evenly and quickly.
Add salt and pepper, stir briefly. Then add the asparagus and mix with the oil until it is evenly covered with oil. Scatter the pine nuts over the top and put them on the second top rail in the oven preheated to 200 ° C.
The dish is ready when the pine nuts are lightly browned and the asparagus is just firm to the bite (approx. 10 minutes).
