4. Tips for Easy Roasted Asparagus

For best results, choose asparagus spears that are similar in thickness so they cook evenly. Thicker spears may need an extra 2-3 minutes of roasting time. To add extra flavor, try sprinkling with grated Parmesan cheese, lemon zest, or minced garlic during the last 2 minutes of cooking. Store leftover roasted asparagus in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat in a 350°F oven for 3-5 minutes to restore crispness.
