AMAZING! I first tasted asparagus about a year or so ago and I enjoyed the dish. Shopping the other night, I saw asparagus was on sale and I really wanted to try again. Like I always do, I came to Recipezaar in hopes of finding something great. Once again, I was not disappointed!! This was great. DH, picky eater, loved it as well. He even asked for seconds. Didn't have any because I figured we might not like it and I wanted to try something else another night. WRONG! Well, I guess we have dinner tomorrow night planned. Thanks Taylortwo!!

The flavor really was better than steaming. I'm glad I found this recipe! Update: This summer I bought one of those grill pans to use on the outdoor grill (like a skillet but with holes in it...) This recipe works very well with it! Nothing worse than heating up the oven when you've got steaks on the grill!! I cooked the asparagus for approximately 15 minutes and give it a good shake once or twice.

Asparagus takes on a whole new significance when you roast it like this. I put the asparagus in a zip bag with the oil and salt and shake, shake, shake, then turn it out onto the baking sheet. This helps it get covered with the oil and not my fingers! I baked it for around 7 minutes for averaged sized stalks and found it to be just perfect. I've passed this recipe on to many friends and family and it's now the only way I eat asparagus. Good for you Taylortwo!

I love asparagus cooked this way. It is the only way I make it. I find it easier to put the asparagus in a bowl to toss with the oil and then lay out on a sheetpan. Sometime I sprinkle with parmesan as soon as the come out of the oven.
