• Ready In: 15mins
• Ingredients: 4
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 2 bunch asparagus
• 29.58 ml extra virgin olive oil
• 2.46 ml kosher salt
• 0.61 ml fresh ground black pepper

directions

1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
2. Trim the woody ends from the asparagus. Spread the spears in a single layer on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with the salt and pepper, and roll to coat thoroughly.
3. Roast the asparagus until lightly browned and tender, about 8 to 10 minutes, giving the pan a good shake about halfway through to turn the asparagus. Arrange the roasted asparagus on a serving platter and top with some Parmesan (optional). Serve warm or at room temperature.

This was delish and so easy. I omitted the pepper but cooked according to directions w/ olive oil & kosher salt. Turned out perfect. Simple to prepare, quick to the table, few ingredients and easy clean-up. Thanks for posting.

I cooked them a 5 minutes more because I had big asparagus. They had a great taste. Thanks Sheila :) Made for PAC Spring 2012

Very easy and very simple; made as directed and the whole family enjoyed, even my roommate's 9-year old son. I did omit the cheese. My asparagus was in the oven a bit longer (almost 15 minutes plus a few minutes more with the oven off to keep warm), but the asparagus was not overcooked. It got a nice brown caramelization on it and was still tender-crisp with the tips being crispy. I'm more than a novice cook, but only about average and I think this recipe will be great for beginner cooks. The flavor was fantastic with just salt, pepper, and the oven-roasted goodness. Thanks for posting, will make again for sure! :)
