Roasted Asparagus



Whip up roasted asparagus in minutes—this simple recipe for tender, crisp spears with golden, caramelized tips is perfect every time.

Ingredients:

  • Thick Asparagus Spears: Choose thick stalks to avoid overcooking; thin ones can become limp.
  • Olive Oil: For drizzling over the asparagus.
  • Salt and Pepper: To season.
  • Optional: Lemon Zest or Freshly Grated Parmesan Cheese for extra flavor.

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F and set an oven rack in the middle position.
  2. Trim the tough ends off the asparagus. Bend one spear until it naturally snaps where it starts to get woody.
  3. Dry the asparagus thoroughly to prevent steaming during roasting.
  4. Line a baking sheet with heavy-duty aluminum foil.
  5. Spread the asparagus in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and shake the pan to coat the asparagus evenly.
  7. Roast until crisp-tender, about 6 to 8 minutes, depending on the thickness of the asparagus.
  8. Transfer to a platter and serve.

Enjoy this delightful roasted asparagus alongside your favorite main course!
