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.

Add another 5 stars to this one, T2! My only changes, or additions, were to add freshly ground black pepper and to sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan after taking out of the oven. Peeling the asparagus is a greatly improved method of serving asparagus. It took care of all the "stringy" issues ; ) I highly recommend the peeling the bottom ends of the asparagus, and I also HIGHLY recommend this recipe! Thanks, T2!!

I have NEVER liked asparagus before trying this recipe! Aside from being delicious, it is quick and easy - an unbeatable combination - especially to a 9 to 5 working woman! Congratulations on a totally winning recipe and thanks for sharing!

EXCELLENT! I didn't change one thing, glad I didn't! The asparagus had a nutty taste, and a crunchy texture. I had leftovers, and sent with DH's brown bag, adding only a sprinkle of balsamic. He declared it wonderful on the second day too. Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe.

Fabulous and easy — how much more could you ask for in a recipe? I have always steamed my asparagus, but this is my new favorite way to eat it. Thanks, TaylorTwo!

Very simple and very nice. Company worthy. When you have a very fresh veggie never muck it up with sauce, this is PERFECT.

I love asparagus done like this — so simple, yet so good. I served it placed on top of a stir fry of prawns and red peppers.

Very tasty. I loved the slight nutty flavor that was added by roasting the asparagus. After trying this recipe, DH and DS both agreed that they preferred roasted asparagus over steamed asparagus.

really nutty and delicious. I have made this recipe twice and the second time, i sliced the asparagus into 2 inch pieces. I thought it made it even better. A definite keeper!
