Comments
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!
