Ingredients

2 bunches medium asparagus
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Grated or shaved Parmesan, optional

Directions

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.

Trim the woody ends from the asparagus, usually about 1 1/2 inches. Lightly peel the remaining stalks (not always necessary, but more of a personal preference). Spread the spears in a single layer on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with the salt and pepper, and roll to coat thoroughly.

Roast the asparagus until lightly browned and tender, about 8 to 10 minutes, giving the pan a good shake about halfway through to turn the asparagus. Arrange the roasted asparagus on a serving platter and top with some Parmesan. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Good asparagus, but too much salt and oil.
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I've never peeled my asparagus before, but I did for this recipe and loved the end result. It was easy to bite into without... all that extra stringy skin. I used the called-for proportions of olive oil and salt, but the asparagus was waaaay too salty! AND I am usually a fan of lots of salt. Too much salt. I would cut by half or down to 1/4 of what's called for. I think 2 Tbsp. is too much olive oil as well. There was a lot of extra olive oil left in the bottom of the baking sheet. I'll try this dish next time with less olive oil and salt.Read more

Great Flavor!

This recipe rocks! I love the flavor roasting gives the asparagus. I doubt we will ever have steamed again.

Roasted Asparagus
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This method is one of the few ways I eat asparagus. Let the spears get a little dark to add some crunch. We roast asparagus... and eat it with a cocktail. So good and good for you! I roast two pounds and have the leftovers cold.Read more
