Roasted Asparagus Bundles

Submitted by hepcat1

"A very pretty way to serve asparagus! NOTE: The directions state that you should roast for 25-30 minutes, although I have found that it takes much less time at that temperature, especially since we prefer our asparagus crisp-tender. I strongly suggest you begin checking your asparagus after only 10 minutes, especially if your spears aren't very thick."

Pretty presentation. I drizzle some olive oil over the asparagus, and roast for 10 minutes.

I have made this recipe and agree with the recipe poster that a shorter cook time is preferable (although it was good either way). A simple and pretty way to serve asparagus. I have made them without bothering to tie up the asparagus too, and just served the scallions mixed in.
