For some reason I’m craving asparagus lately. I’ve eaten it 3 times since Sunday. Yes, 3 times.
Maybe it’s my longing for spring.
A few years ago I discovered a no-mush, no-fail way to cook asparagus.
I used to boil mine because it was what I thought you did. But now I bake it.
And as an added bonus, by baking them, they don’t end up looking grey on your plate.
Delish beyond belief!

Roasted Asparagus
- Line up asparagus on a cookie sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, then generously salt & pepper them.
- Bake in a preheated 500 degree oven. Yes you read that right! 500 degrees. (watch them closely)
- Bake for 5-10 minutes.

I love this veggie. Unfortunately, I am the only one in my little family of 5.

Superb!
Hi I'm Jo-Anna! I mom. I blog. I cook. I craft. I like pretty things.
Hmm…Sounds delicious…I see them in the grocery store and dont know how to prepare them but this sounds like a really yummy way to do it…My parents put them on the grill.
YUM!! I love them too – sometimes I toss fresh chopped ones into a salad.
Sounds like a delish way to make them. I’ll have to try it. I always make mine in an asparagus steamer, which boils the bottom and steams the tops.

I have only been married and cooking for myself for a very short while. I bought some asparagus the other day having no idea how to fix it. I just happened across your blog yesterday, and this was the top post! I tried this, and I loved it! I also enjoyed looking through your blog. I used your crunchy chicken recipe last night as well!
Best wishes, Katie.

Parmessan Cheese on them too…
Yummers….
