Recipe video above. Roasting is a terrific quick and easy way to prepare asparagus that's so much tastier than steaming or blanching! You really only need salt, pepper and olive oil, but garlic always makes everything tastier. To make it company worthy, toss with a little lemon juice at the end, then grate over some parmesan. Serve with everything!

Steps
Preheat oven to 220°C/430°F (200°C fan).
Snap the woody ends off the asparagus - it will naturally break at the right point.
Pile onto tray. Drizzle with oil, sprinkle with salt, pepper and garlic. Toss, then spread out on tray.
Roast 7 minutes, or until ends have a bit of colour on them and the asparagus is just cooked through. It will take 10 - 12 minutes for very thick ones. Don't let them get wrinkly and sad!
Remove from oven.
Toss with lemon juice, if using. Pile onto serving platter, grate over optional parmesan. Serve!

Dierdre on 2024-04-28 (5 stars): I followed the recipe exactly. The asparagus has a nice soft crunch, and it is tasty!
june-aloha on 2024-04-05 (5 stars): I made this for tonight's dinner! Yes, your recipes are always the best and we did enjoyed:) Thanks, always, Nagi!
JimmyB on 2024-04-01 (5 stars): I made this today for Easter dinner along with ham & au gratin potatoes. I washed the asparagus and dried it thoroughly and used an olive oil spray on it. Then added coarse ground pink salt and fresh ground pepper. I did a light sprinkle of onion powder and garlic powder. I cooked it in an air fryer at 425 for 10 minutes, then rotated it and added 2 more minutes. It was delicious! Even people who don't much care for asparagus said that they liked it. Thanks for sharing!

Mary McGrory on 2020-12-06 (5 stars): So simple and yet so absolutely delicious - I love my asparagus roasted wrapped with Parma ham so I’m thinking a combination of the two recipes could be amazing! Loved the lemon juice with yours - it made such a difference.
Donna on 2020-12-05 (5 stars): Hi Nagi. We cooked this last night with a roast chicken and roast vegetables, and it was seriously deliciously.
I first stumbled on your website about 6 months ago, and every recipe I have tried is delicious. Now I find myself searching your site for recipes all the time. Truly delicious - thank you!!!
Irini Jankowski on 2020-12-03 (5 stars): I love everything about this! I can see this way of cooking it working well with other vegetables, too, and will try that out. Broccolini, sweet potato/potato chips, cauliflower florets, etc. etc
Thanks for this, it will be my new staple side dish!
