Answer 1

Keep it simple and don't mask it's wonderful flavor:
Oven 450
Wash asparagus and trim off tough ends. Put asparagus on baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil - rub it on with your hands, or stir the spears around a bit to get them coated with oil. Salt lightly. roast until just barely tender, 8 - 15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the spears.
Drizzle with lemon juice and serve immediately.

Answer 6

Sweetie,roasted asparagus are my absolute favorite!Simply purchase fresh asparagus(canned are mushy i never eat them,unless i have to.) and clean them normal.Place them on a cookie sheet,drizzle with extra virgin olive oil,salt,and pepper to your taste.Toss to coat,make sure they are in a single layer and roast in the oven.They should be tender,not mushy.The canned you get are cooked too far,they should hold their shape,but be just tender.Yum!!!!!Good luck hun,and have a good night.

Answer 7

yes! Go ahead! But I agree with the earlier comment and prefer it grilled or even broiled. Either way, just spritz it with some oil and salt and pepper them beforehand. Just a couple minutes so they're still very crisp and very green! Even my kids love them like this!

Answer 8

If they are thick stemmed, then peel them first.
Do not season them at all. Place them in a hot oven and cook to desired temperature. As soon "AS SOON " as they come out of the oven, season them with salt and pepper, olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Try grilled asparagus as well!!!!

Answer 9

yum i love it!!!!!! Grease a pan slightly with olive oil as well as the asparagus then sprinkle with salt!!!!! Roast until crispy!!!!
