Oven-Roasted Asparagus will give you a crunchy result and it seems to enhance the flavor. Use any of your favorite herbs if you don’t like Italian seasoning or omit the herb altogether.
Roasting this way really enhances the flavor.
This is my favorite side dish when I cook Parmesan Crusted Fish filets!
Depending on the size of your asparagus, you might have to roast a little longer than 7 minutes.
But it’s a great, easy and tasty way to do asparagus!! Try it and I’ll bet you will never cook asparagus any other way.
