Recipe 1: Oven Roasted Asparagus (AllRecipes)
Ingredients
– Fresh asparagus spears
– Olive oil
– Garlic (optional)
– Salt
– Pepper
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This temperature is perfect for roasting, giving the asparagus that nice, tender-crisp texture.
2. Prepare your asparagus by trimming the tough ends and washing them. You want to start with the freshest spears!
3. In a bowl, toss the asparagus with olive oil, making sure every piece is nicely coated. If you’re feeling adventurous, add in some minced garlic for extra flavor.
4. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Don’t be shy here; seasoning makes a huge difference!
5. Arrange the asparagus in a single layer on a baking sheet. This allows for even roasting and helps avoid mushy veggies.
6. Place in the oven and roast for about 15-20 minutes. You’ll know they’re done when they’re bright green and slightly crispy.
