Roasted Asparagus Recipe

This Roasted Asparagus recipe is so easy to make! Just toss asparagus spears in olive oil, garlic, and Parmesan cheese and roast in the oven until tender!

In my area, this is the time of year where I see roadside stands with fresh garden asparagus for sale. I love living in the country! This amazing Roasted Asparagus Recipe is one you NEED to have on hand this spring!

I think the only thing better would be to have fresh asparagus growing in my own garden, but unfortunately we just do not have the space in our small yard for such a big crop. I totally take advantage of the farms around me that grow it, however! And you should definitely start seeing some great deals on asparagus in your local grocery stores, too.

Why is my roasted asparagus stringy?

Overcooking the asparagus can cause it to be stringy. Asparagus should be crisp tender from the oven.

Can you reheat roasted asparagus?

Yes! Just put a paper towel over it and pop it in the microwave for 2 minutes until steaming.

Can cooked asparagus be frozen?

Yes, but it will change the flavor and texture of the asparagus somewhat.

How to make asparagus roasted in the oven:

Wash and trim 1/4 inch off the ends of the asparagus. Toss the asparagus with olive oil, garlic salt, and Parmesan cheese. Roast on a cookie sheet until crisp tender. Serve immediately!

Serving suggestions with asparagus:

• Stuffed chicken breast (I sometimes pick up frozen stuffed chicken breast at the grocery store for a quick main dish)
• Grilled chicken
• Crockpot Brown Sugar Ham
