I tried this roasted asparagus recipe today and I liked it a lot! The roasting method is my preferred way of eating asparagus, and this recipe helped the spears come out perfectly. i definitely recommend using more seasoning, I used black pepper and paprika and I definitely think they could have used more flavor. I added some red pepper after roasting them and that helped to give more of a kick. Overall a quick and easy recipe that can pair with a variety of meals!
Delicious and simple. Roasting a great way to make a lot at once. Steaming or blanching can make asparagus limp and is easy to overcook. This kept them crisp. I enjoyed them both hot and cold. Leftovers can be added to salad.
This is such a tasty way to enjoy asparagus...and to celebrate spring!
This is such a yummy way to eat asparagus, my favorite. And kids love asparagus roasted!
