Roasted Asparagus
Roasted asparagus has to be one of the easiest side dish recipes you can put on your dinner table. It goes with so many things and there are a ton of ways to amp up the flavor with ingredient additions like lemon wedges, Parmesan cheese, or even crumbled bacon!
How to Make It
See recipe card below this post for ingredient quantities and full instructions. Trim the stem off the last inch or so of the asparagus and place on a baking sheet. Drizzle lightly with olive oil and toss to coat. Arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 10-15 minutes. (Less time for a dark baking sheet and/or thinner asparagus.) Season with salt and pepper prior to serving. Lemon Pepper Seasoning is also a great choice.
Pro Tips
Use a dark baking sheet for this recipe if possible, as they draw in more heat. The key is to roast quickly enough so that the consistency is still firm but the outside is roasted. Roughly chopped bacon, lemon wedges, sliced almonds, red pepper flakes, and Parmesan make great additions as well. To add garlic, use smashed whole garlic cloves as opposed to minced garlic to ensure it doesn’t burn.
How to Keep Asparagus Fresh
To keep asparagus fresh longer, place them stem-side-down in a glass of water in the fridge.
Storage
Store in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 350° oven for 5-7 minutes, until heated through.
