We love this recipe! It's one of the few ways I can get my boyfriend and father (both meat men) to eat veggies! They both love the flavor which I find ironic since they hate all kinds of veggies! I line a glass pan with foil, pour some olive oil over all of the asparagus, throw some salt on top and add fresh cracked black pepper! Superb! Heads up cooks... be mindful that the oil does have a tendency to run over the sides of your pan because of the heat from the oven. Just keep a watchful eye that this does not happen or your oven will start to burn the oil that drips. 5 STARS! And a huge thanks!

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!!

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.
