Recipe video above. Roasting is a terrific quick and easy way to prepare asparagus that's so much tastier than steaming or blanching! You really only need salt, pepper and olive oil, but garlic always makes everything tastier. To make it company worthy, toss with a little lemon juice at the end, then grate over some parmesan. Serve with everything!
View original recipe on recipetineats.comPreheat oven to 220°C/430°F (200°C fan).
Snap the woody ends off the asparagus - it will naturally break at the right point.
Pile onto tray. Drizzle with oil, sprinkle with salt, pepper and garlic. Toss, then spread out on tray.
Roast 7 minutes, or until ends have a bit of colour on them and the asparagus is just cooked through. It will take 10 - 12 minutes for very thick ones. Don't let them get wrinkly and sad!
Remove from oven.
Toss with lemon juice, if using. Pile onto serving platter, grate over optional parmesan. Serve!
