Perfectly Cooked Roasted Asparagus Recipes

PERFECT ROASTED ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (232 C). Set out a large baking sheet (as original recipe is written // use more baking sheets as needed to avoid crowding).
• Trim woody ends off of the asparagus (~1-2 inches from the bottom) and place the asparagus sprigs on the bare baking sheet(s). If you want to use parchment paper, refer to packaging for maximum safe temperature. We found a bare baking sheet yielded the best result.
• Drizzle with oil and toss to distribute evenly. Sprinkle with sea salt and black pepper (optional). To encourage browning, avoid crowding the pan. The asparagus can touch but should not be overlapping.
• Bake for 6-10 minutes or until lightly browned and tender when pierced with a fork. Should still have a little bite. Thicker stems will require longer cook time than thinner stems. Taste and add more salt to taste as needed.
• Serve hot. Optionally, garnish with vegan parmesan cheese and/or a sprinkle of lemon juice and/or zest.
• Best when fresh. Store leftovers in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. Reheat in a skillet on the stovetop until warm. Not freezer friendly.

ROASTED ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Break off the tough ends of the asparagus and, if they're thick, peel them. Place the asparagus on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, then toss to coat the asparagus completely. Spread the asparagus in a single layer and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. Roast the asparagus for 25 minutes, until tender but still crisp.

PERFECT ROASTED ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Snap off the woody ends of the asparagus (if you sharply bend the asparagus near the base, it will snap in the right place). Discard the ends.
• Place the asparagus on the sheet and drizzle with 1 to 2 teaspoons olive oil, just enough to lightly coat the asparagus. Sprinkle salt and pepper over the asparagus, and toss until the spears are lightly coated in oil. Arrange the spears in a single layer on the pan.
• Bake just until the base of the asparagus is easily pierced through by a fork. Very thin asparagus, like the kind shown here, will take as little as 9 to 12 minutes, whereas thicker asparagus will need 15 to 20 minutes.
• Transfer the roasted asparagus to a serving platter and season however you'd like. You could keep it simple with a squeeze of lemon juice, or a sprinkle of Parmesan, or add a pat of butter or drizzle of balsamic vinegar.
• Roasted asparagus is best served when it's fresh out of the oven, but it will keep at room temperature for up to 1 hour or up to 4 days in the refrigerator (gently reheat before serving).

THE BEST OVEN ROASTED GARLIC PARMESAN ASPARAGUS RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Trim asparagus to remove tough, woody ends - discard ends.
• On a baking sheet (line with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup), lay down asparagus.
• Drizzle asparagus with olive oil and lemon juice, mix around with hands to coat evenly.
• Pour cheese and garlic powder over asparagus, mix with hands to evenly mix and coat asparagus.
• Generously season with salt and pepper.
• Bake at 375 for 15 minutes - checking at around 10 minutes to see if tips have started to brown slightly and asparagus has softened a bit.
• Cook until asparagus is soft and has crunchy browned bits, about 15 minutes total (this is very dependent on your oven and the thickness of the asparagus stalks - watch it to be sure it doesn't overcook.)
• When asparagus is done, serve immediately.

THE BEST ROASTED ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with a wire rack.
• Put the asparagus, olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl. Toss to coat evenly. Spread the asparagus in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 10 to 12 minutes, until lightly browned and tender, but still bright green.
• Meanwhile, spread the Parmesan evenly in the bottom of a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook undisturbed until the cheese melts, sticks together and turns golden brown, about 2 minutes, then flip with a rubber spatula and cook until golden on the second side, about 2 minutes more. Transfer the frico to a wire rack-lined baking sheet to cool completely, about 2 minutes. Break the frico into small crumbles and put in a small bowl. Add the lemon zest and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper and toss to combine.
• Transfer the roasted asparagus to a serving platter and squeeze the fresh lemon juice over the top. Top with the crumbled frico mixture.

OVEN-ROASTED ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Place the asparagus into a mixing bowl, and drizzle with the olive oil. Toss to coat the spears, then sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, garlic, salt, and pepper. Arrange the asparagus onto a baking sheet in a single layer.
• Bake in the preheated oven until just tender, 12 to 15 minutes depending on thickness. Sprinkle with lemon juice just before serving.

OVEN-ROASTED ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• After you wash the asparagus thoroughly, stack a bunch together and lop off the tough/thick bottom an inch or so.
• Spread out the asparagus in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Pat it as dry as you can, as you don't want any water to "steam" the asparagus in the oven.
• Begin by generously drizzling olive oil all over the asparagus and then sprinkle the asparagus generously with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
• Roast the asparagus for about ten minutes. The secret here is for the oven to be very hot so the asparagus can begin to brown on the outside without overcooking and getting too flimsy. You want the finished asparagus to still have a bite to it. Enjoy!

Steps:

• Trim the hard ends off of the asparagus.
• Drizzle the asparagus with the olive oil and season with garlic salt, salt, and pepper as desired.
• Spray the bottom of the air fryer pan with non-stick cooking spray for easy clean up.
• Place the asparagus in a single layer in the bottom of the air fryer.

PERFECTLY COOKED ROASTED ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• In the meantime, "trim" each spear by grasping both ends and gently bending until it snaps in half. (You might lose more of the stalk with the thicker ones, but you won't lose the tender part anyway so it's OK.).
• Spread the tender top halves in a single layer on a foil-lined baking sheet; discard the woody stalks.
• Drizzle a bit of olive oil over top (a tablespoon or two) and add garlic.
• Season lightly with salt and red pepper flakes; season liberally with the black pepper.
• Toss to coat.
• Cook in the preheated over for 10-15 minutes or until asparagus is bright green.

Steps:

• Wash and dry asparagus with a clean kitchen towel. Trim the 1-2 inch of woody stem ends. Drizzle olive oil. Massage and toss to coat asparagus in the oil.
• Insert air fryer rack in the fryer. Preheat fryer for 3 minutes at 390 degrees Fahrenheit. Add asparagus into the fryer. Set fryer to cook at 390 degrees Fahrenheit for 12 minutes. Toss asparagus half way, and 1-2 times after that. Keep an eye in last 4 minutes.
• Last 30 secons-1 minute of cooking, sprinkle parmesan cheese, salt and pepper. Resume to cook for remaining time. Transfer asparagus to serving platter. Serve hot with lemon wedges.
