Roasted Asparagus
This Roasted Asparagus recipe is a fast and easy side dish when you’re in a hurry. Amelia and I were raised on canned asparagus, but that doesn’t hold a candle to this crispy and delicious oven roasted asparagus. Even your kids will love it!
Use fresh asparagus for this recipe. The canned asparagus soaked in water will be too wet and won’t roast correctly. You’ll end up with a soggy mess that no one will like.
It doesn’t reheat well, either, so you’ll want to make only what you can eat with your meal. Since this recipe is so quick and easy, you can keep your fresh asparagus in the refrigerator and only prepare what you need.
