I love doing asparagus this way! I put the asparagus in a single layer and just lightly spray them with olive oil then sprinkle the herb on the and the garlic. This is the first time I have used thyme, excellent. I only leave the asparagus in the oven for 10 minutes cause I love them really crisp. If you are not thinking too lite sprinkle some parmesan on for the last 5 minutes and broil MMmmm Thanks again Dorothy

What a wonderful way to cook asparagus. I cooked the asparagus for about 17 minutes and it was the tenderness that we liked. I did as Bergy suggested and sprinkled on a little Parmesan cheese. The thyme flavor went well with the asparagus. Thanks Dorothy.

This is a terrific asparagus recipe. Nothing could be simpler to make. I put it together earlier in the day and popped it in the oven at dinner time. One thing that I did do a little differently however was to press the garlic and rub it all over the dish. We LOVE garlic! Thanks a lot for your recipe!

Yummee!! I am a real vegetable freak and have always steamed asparagus, this tastes kind of roasted and the subtle taste of thyme adds a very elegant flavor. I would usually just do the butter and lemon pepper route, but I love the flavor of thyme. I used elephant garlic in there and was feeling frisky so I tasted it too, and it was excellent with thyme also! Thanks for a simple, healthy, great flavored veggie!

Love asparagus and this was great. I used lemon thyme and the last 4 mins I added some parmesan cheese. It's a keeper.

this is a great way to have asparagus! the roasting really brought out the flavor of the asparagus. i lined my pan with foil for quick and easy clean up. i also used a bit more oil, but hey, it's good fat.

There really isn't anything that I can add to the other comments. I minced the garlic, used dried thyme & sprinkled with freshly grated parmesan during the last 5 minutes; it was delicious! This is our 3rd season for growing asparagus in the garden but it takes a long time to mature so its the FIRST year that we've been able to harvest it. Its also the FIRST time that I've roasted it!! But it certainly won't be the last. Thanx Dorothy!

This is fantastic. I served this with my husband's favorite, chicken fettuccini alfredo. When it came to seconds he wanted more asparagus not the fettuccini. It was easy to prepare and looks nice too. I will have to make extra next time.

A wonderful new way to do asparagus. I have always just steamed it, but never again. I actually added a small amount of minced garlic directly to the asparagus (it was an error on my part, but turned out well). The asparagus baked for about 17-18 minutes and was wonderfuly crisp-tender. I had to used dried thyme as that's all I had, but the fresh would be even better. Can't wait to make this again. Thanks Dorothy.
