Ingredients

2 pounds fresh asparagus
Good olive oil
Kosher salt, plus extra for sprinkling
Freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Break off the tough ends of the asparagus and, if they're thick, peel them. Place the asparagus on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, then toss to coat the asparagus completely. Spread the asparagus in a single layer and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. Roast the asparagus for 25 minutes, until tender but still crisp.

Perfect Asparagus
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

When I spend considerable time on a main dish, I like side dishes that are super simple, and am sometimes disappointed. Not... this time! It couldn't have been easier, and it was perfectly roasted. Since I tend to burn when roasting veggies, I rolled the asparagus around on the pan every 10-15 minutes or so... and this is a good idea also to make sure you're not overcooking. If you like asparagus, you'll love this recipe.Read more

A little too roasted
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I would give this a 5 star since its so easy and delicious. But I found my asparagus to be completely overcooked! I think... around 18 to 20 minutes would be more accurate and have better crunchier results. Read more

Asparagus can be Yummy
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is an excellent recipe. The only change I made was to add the juice of half a lemon to it before roasting.
