I loved the taste of the scallions with the asparagus! This was very easy and the whole family enjoyed them. I adjusted the cooking time in half due to the fact that I had a thinner variety of asparagus and I also eyeballed the oil and seasonings. The presentation was beautiful, but if I am making this again for just a family dinner, I may not actually tie the bundles but just serve the scallions along with the asparagus.

I've made this three times since finding it, and this recipe was the first time I've ever done asparagus. I more eyeballed the salt/pepper and olive oil than measured, but it turned out great. I have since added about 5 more min to the cooking time as we like them a little on the softer side.
I've removed the scallion tie for convenience because these go so quickly once on the table, but for presentation purposes, it's lovely.

I added 6 cloves minced garlic and used leeks instead of green onion. I made sure to get an extra large thick leek. I cleaned it very good and cut the rough ends off. Cut leeks in strips an inch wide and kept them long. Lightly drizzled entire pan with extra virgin olive oil right before baking.

Once cooked, I wrapped the leek strip around the asparagus bundle & it added an nice soft sweet taste. The pop of bright yellow color on top of the green asaparagus was PERFECT FOR SPRING!!! Kids loved them too!!

Went nicely with Chicken Picata!

I know I rated this five although I haven't had it yet but I know it's a must! I will definetely put it in for 10minutes and try and find something else to wrap it with. I'll also add some lemon and garlic/onion powder. I'm getting so hungry I'm going to go and try it out!

I agree- only cook 10 minutes. I couldn't tie scallions without tearing them. After realizing it was futile, I cheated shamelessly. I used prochuto to hold the bundles together (left over from beef Wellington recipe. Wrapping each spear individually with prochuto is not only time consuming, but can be overpowering (salty- this recipe fixes that problem and you get cute little bunches. Reviews came back as "perfect". Thanks for the recipe and thanks to everyone posting reviews on the time!!!

I cooked the asparagus the entire 25 minutes and served as appetizers. This is a definite keeper recipe. I do agree with the other comments and will try 10 -15 minutes next time.

I placed the asparagus in a single layer on cookie sheet, drizzled with olive oil (i'm sure I used more than a tablespoon! then sprinkled with garlic salt and pepper. After 15 minutes they were VERY done! I think 10-12 min would have been better, but the taste was still awesome! Very simple, very tasty...just do not cook for that long at 400 or you will have overcooked asparagus!!

Try pre-roasting scallions and asparagus at 400 for 8 to 10 minutes, then assemble the bundles and THEN finish roasting them right before serving but ONLY for 7-8 minutes more. Perfect!!! And you can do them ahead of time. We finished them with a sprinkle of brown buttered bread crumbs aright before serving.
