I love to roast vegetables, it’s easy and my family loves veggies prepared this way. I always add the Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO for you foodies out there) after cooking, since high temperatures destroy some of the health benefits of the olive oil.
I also roast green beans, broccoli, zucchini, yellow squash, and many other vegetables this way.
Here is the recipe.
ROAST ASPARAGUS
1 lb. of Asparagus
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Salt
1 Lemon
Wash asparagus, and snap off hard ends of stalks. Place them in a single layer and roast (Bake) in the oven at 375 degree F for about 5 or 6 minutes. (Do not overcook.) Remove from oven, drizzle with EVOO, and then salt. Transfer asparagus to serving plate, and add lemons as a garnish.

My daughter and her boyfriend roast theirs using the same ingredients and they are SO good.
Have a great weekend.
I love veggies and sometimes the simplest things taste the best. Thanks for telling me how to cook it.
Roast vegetables are my favorite… I cook them at least a couple times a week. Typically I use the EVOO before cooking so I’m going to try this!
LOL – was just planning my menu for the week — guess what I just added 🙂
I *love* roasted asparagus! And roasted broccoli, too 😉
Anita,
Thanks for the tip on Olive Oil. I added the olive oil then put them in the oven to roast and we nearly had to call the fire department. The smoke was horrid. Oh, yes! Did I mention that we had our Dinner Group here that evening??? Talk about embarrassed!!! I’ll try your recipe, next time!!!
Fondly,
Pat
Asparagus is my favorite vegetable. Thanks for the recipe and the tip about EVOO.
I LOVE asparagus, no matter how it is prepared but roasting seems to bring out the wonderful flavor. XO, Pinky
Looks yummy. Now if I could only get my family to EAT vegetables, let alone asparagus…..:(
Yum, I love roasted veggies too, and evoo. So healthy
Yummy! Almost all veggies taste better roasted or grilled!Yours look just beautiful!
They look even prettier in that stunning blue and white bowl!
Anita, this is the ONLY way I like to eat asparagus. I’ve never added lemon. It sounds yummy and your photos could easily be a foodie magazine!
mmmm…tasty, healthy and oh so pretty in your photos!
On a side note…

I love asparagus, and it is best kept simple to enjoy the flavour, so this is ideal.
I love asparagus but have never prepared it in the oven. Though I normally lightly steam it, I’ll give your way a try. 😉
Thanks for partying at Time Travel Thursday, Anita!

Hi Anita, This is my favorite way to prepare vegetables too. Thanks for linking to the Open House party.
Hi, Anita. Thanks for sharing this. I didn’t know the trick about waiting to add the EVOO. I’ll try that next time. I love to add a bit of garlic salt to our asparagus.
Hi Anita! We love asparagus and cook it several different ways, but roasted and grilled are definitely our 2 faves. Great tip about the olive oil. Newly linking up with the party today and following via FB, Bloglovin’, GFC, Linky and Pinterest. Thanks so much for hosting today. Have a truly blessed week! ~Mary
