I have always liked asparagus, but love asparagus now!!! This simple easy recipe is outstanding. I love the thyme on it. Putting it in the oven while finishing dinner cannot be simpler. The only problem was that I was the only one having it so I did not cook a lot - I wish I had as I wanted more!!!!! You really have to try this recipe as you won't be sorry. Just make lots as you will make this your main course!!! Thanks for sharing.

I made this the other night and it was great! I hate putting anything in the microwave and steaming veggies always seems like such a hassle. I added a little bit of garlic powder to the aspargaus and they came out just right. Thank you!

So quick and simple. Cooking for just myself, it's hard to buy a prebundled bunch of asparagus and eat it all in one sitting. In the past I used to steam the spears but the left overs were soggy. Roasting them keeps them crispy and even the refrigerated leftovers are good. This is a very practical recipe that tastes great!

I used dried oregano and this recipe was FANTASTIC!!! I also prepared button mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, brussel sprouts, zucchini slices, fresh green beans and fingerling potatoes in the same way at the same time (giving the potatoes just a bit longer to cook.) Everything was just delicious.
