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.

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.

I have never made asparagus before, but after enjoying roasted asparagus at a resturant over the weekend, I was determined to... try it, too! Ina's recipe is so easy and absolutely wonderful!! I did learn that when buying asparagus to make sure that it is thin. Read more

I never ate asparagus in my life. It's not common in Hispanic cooking, but I tried this recipe, and they are sooo good!!!
