Serendipitous asparagus

I was making Jody's sweet potato recipe last night, working on the island right next to the tough ends of asparagus that I'd left there in the morning, when I remembered that we had eaten roasted or broiled asparagus at JoLe in Calistoga. I threw the asparagus onto the tray and dressed them with the oil/garlic/jalapeno/paprika/pepper/salt mix. They cooked up soft and delicious on the inside, and the spicy dressing was delicious!
