Oven Roasted Asparagus
I love fresh oven roasted asparagus. It may be the easiest vegetable side dish ever. Here's how I do it.
•fresh, thick speared asparagus
•butter or olive oil (I like butter better)
•garlic powder
•sea salt (optional)
Directions:
Wash asparagus and dry well with paper towels.
1 1/2 the bottom ends of the asparagus (I do about 1 1/2 inches).
Put asparagus in a single layer on rimmed cookie sheet or other baking pan. Cut little pieces of butter up and distribute over the top of the asparagus, or drizzle olive oil over them.
to with garlic powder to taste. I don't think it needs salt, but if you like, sprinkle lightly with sea salt.
to love oven roasted asparagus, and we eat it at least a couple times a week. I've tried it many ways, but when it comes down to it, this simple method of cooking it is my favorite asparagus recipe.
