Roasted Asparagus


For 4 servings of roasted (baked) asparagus purchase approximately 1 pound of asparagus.


Place the asparagus in a colander and rinse thoroughly.


Allow the asparagus to drain thoroughly.


Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F.


Tear off a piece of aluminum foil and line a jelly roll pan.


Spray the jelly roll pan with nonstick cooking spray.


Snap the woody ends off the asparagus and place the asparagus tips neatly in the prepared jelly roll pan.


Do not allow the asparagus tips to overlap as this will steam the asparagus rather than bake or roast them.


Spray the asparagus tips with olive oil flavored nonstick cooking spray.


Season with salt and pepper.


Place the pan of asparagus tips in the preheated oven.


Bake until a light golden brown and tender-crisp. This should take about 15 minutes.


Use a pancake spatula to neatly arrange the asparagus tips onto a vertical serving dish or platter.


Sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan cheese over the asparagus, if desired.











[edit] TipsTo roast rather than bake the asparagus preheat the oven to 500 degrees F. Follow the above directions and bake the asparagus at the higher temperature. This method is a little quicker, produces crispier asparagus tips, but can warp the baking pan.


At the grocery store select asparagus that is stored in a vertical position and kept in a pan of fresh water.


Choose fresh, green looking asparagus for the best tasting vegetable.


Avoid dry or old looking asparagus.


Asparagus will naturally break off the woody tip if you hold the asparagus in your hand and use the other hand to break the tip off.


You do not have to line the baking pan with aluminum foil, but this makes for easy clean-up.


Use a roasting pan to prepare 2 pounds of baked (roasted) asparagus.
