Ingredients

serves 6

　　1 bunch (12 ounces) asparagus

　　2 medium fennel bulbs

　　8 baby artichokes

　　1 lemon, cut in half

　　1 1/2 cups large green olives, such as Cerignola

　　1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

　　2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

　　1 teaspoon coarse salt

　　1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

　　

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Trim the ends of the asparagus; cut the stalks into 3-inch lengths. Place in a large bowl; set aside. Trim the leaves from the fennel; cut the bulbs in half and into thin wedges. Add to the bowl with the asparagus.

　　

Step 2

Remove and discard any tough outer leaves from the artichokes. Cut into quarters; remove and discard the purple chokes. Rub the artichokes all over with cut lemon to prevent browning; add to the bowl with the asparagus. Add the olives, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper; toss to combine well.

　　

Step 3

Transfer to a roasting pan. Roast until the vegetables are tender and just starting to brown, about 30 minutes. Serve hot or at room temperature.
