A really elegant side dish but quick and easy enough for everyday!
- 1 bunch of asparagus – washed and patted dry
- Salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil. Place asparagus on baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Toss asparagus in the oil and coat well. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Bake on center rack for about 20 minutes or until asparagus are tender, but still crisp. This depends on how thick they are. If they’re very thin, they may be done in 10 to 15 minutes. ENJOY!!
Tips and Tidbits About Roasted Asparagus
When buying asparagus, be sure the tips are firm. If they’re old or they haven’t been tended to by the seller properly, they get dried out and shriveled and may fall apart when you touch them. That sounds sad doesn’t it??
Thicker spears are better for roasting than very thin ones.
