Tender Roasted Asparagus
- PREP 10min
- COOK 20min
- TOTAL 30min
Our easy method for perfectly roasted asparagus. Depending on how thick the asparagus is, it will take between 15 and 25 minutes to bake. We try to buy thin-stalked asparagus when we can find it. If you can only find asparagus that’s got thick, woody stems we recommend using a vegetable peeler to peel away the thick outer peel of the stalks.
You Will Need
1 pound fresh asparagus
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and fresh ground black pepper
Directions
Heat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
Rinse asparagus and pat dry. Trim about 1/2-inch from the stalky ends. Place trimmed asparagus onto the baking sheet and toss with olive oil, and then lightly season with salt and fresh ground black pepper. Spread into a single layer.
Bake until the tips begin to brown and the stalks are tender, 15 to 25 minutes depending on the thickness of your asparagus.
