Roasted Asparagus Recipe

How to Roast Asparagus
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Wash asparagus and dry in a clean kitchen towel. Snap woody ends off of each piece. (If you try to bend it close to the ends, it will naturally break.)

How Long to Roast Asparagus
It really depends. If you have very skinny asparagus, this might only take 5-10 minutes. If your asparagus is thicker, this will be 10-15 minutes. So try to find a bunch that has around the same thickness throughout.
