Oven roasting is my favorite way to cook asparagus, it results in slightly crisp and completely tender spears that are neither mushy or soft. I made this asparagus for breakfast this past weekend and served it with some roasted sweet potatoes and fried eggs.

I’d planned to have a few spears left for a pasta later that night, but my husband and I polished off this tray with very little help from the kids. (Silly children, they each ate a spear and called it good. They don’t know what they are missing!)

Simple Roasted Asparagus

Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients 

  • 1 lb fresh asparagus spears
  • 1-2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet or pan with foil. Trim the ends off the asparagus and place on the foil. Drizzle with oil and rub gently with your hands to coat. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and toss gently to coat. Roast for 8-10 minutes, until the asparagus is still crisp on the outside, but soft when you stab it with a fork. Enjoy!

Notes

Thicker asparagus spears work best for oven roasting. save the thinner ones for sautéing and steaming.

    You can also make them with Parm. cheese. After roasting, remove from oven & sprinkle with cheese, return to oven just long enough to melt cheese.
