Absolutely delicious roasted asparagus. I loved the garlic and fresh thyme. My favorite part was probably the crispy ends. Heavenly!

Delicious! One of, if not the best asparagus I have ever tried. I love that you can just throw in the whole sprigs of thyme. Next time I might just smash the garlic cloves, if I'm in the rush. I made my asparagus in a convection toaster oven, and since it was the thin kind it was ready in 20 minutes. Thank you for sharing this keeper.

We really enjoyed this tonight! I just happened to have fresh thyme from another recipe. I added some lemon zest and a squeeze of lemon. My husband LOVED it. Definately a keeper!

Great way to roast asparagus. I usually just bake it with olive oil, salt, and pepper, so the garlic and thyme (I just used a sprinkling of dried) were nice additions. The 40 minutes total cooking time worked well for my medium-thickness spears. Smaller ones will take less time. I will be making this again!
