Asparagus is one of those vegetables that I wouldn't touch as a kid. But now, it's one of my favorites. (As long as it doesn't come from a can that is.) But the best part about asparagus, is that you can change up the flavor to suit your taste buds.
•Preheat oven to 425ยบ.
•Start by bending the bottom ends of the asparagus stalks, the woody part of the stalk will naturally break off & discard the woody ends.
•Lay asparagus in a single layer on a cooking sheet or glass pan.
•Sprinkle with sea salt, ground black pepper, or other desired seasonings (garlic powder & curry powder are two of my favorites).
•Roast for 10-18 minutes, depending on the amount of crunchiness you like to it (I do about 14 minutes for a slightly crunchy asparagus).
If you think you might like this, but have never had asparagus before (which actually tastes like a woodier version of a green bean), try serving it with a drizzle of Hollandaise sauce.
