Roasted Asparagus

Roasted Asparagus is a well-seasoned side dish with a pleasant flavor.

Quick and easy to make with a few ingredients.

Pairs well with my Roasted Spatchcock Herb Chicken.

 

SEASONINGS

Olive oil, coarse kosher salt and coarse ground black pepper.

 

PREPARE ASPARAGUS

Cut or snap off thick bottom of each spear. 

Some spears will be thick while others will be thin. 

Thin spears will roast in 9 to 10 minutes. 

Thick ones will roast in 10 to 12 minutes.

Thick bottoms removed.

 

Thoroughly rinse spears in warm water.  Pat dry with paper towels. 

 

HOW TO SEASON ASPARAGUS BEFORE ROASTING

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Arrange asparagus spears in a single layer in a large, ungreased baking pan.

Lightly drizzle with olive oil.   Too much will cause them to become mushy in the oven.  

Sprinkle on preferred amounts of coarse ground black pepper and kosher salt (or use regular salt).

Seasoned spears ready for roasting.

 

SERVING SUGGESTION

Roasted Asparagus served with fresh lemon slices.

ENJOY!
