Seasoned Roasted Asparagus

Submitted by SReiff

"As a kid, I really disliked asparagus! They were always cooked to a "perfect mush!" This recipe makes me crave the veggie I disliked most as a child! Crisp aspargus, easy recipe. The juice has an "Italian-like" flavor. From the Tastefully Simple recipe file, I suggest using their seasoned salt to make this perfect!"

Stellar way to serve asparagus. The oil and high heat make it nice and crispy and give it much more flavor than any other method of preparing asparagus - definitely recommended!

Perfect way to prepare fresh asparagus! I especially liked the addition of the lemon juice. I used salt, pepper, celery salt, garlic salt and thyme for the seasoned salt. Loved this - thanks for sharing the recipe!
