Roasted Asparagus in 15 Minutes – Easy and Flavorful
Simple, healthy side dish that’s ready in just 15 minutes! This Roasted Asparagus recipe is perfect! With minimal ingredients and easy steps, you’ll get tender, flavorful asparagus with a delicious crispy edge.
Equipment
- 1 baking tray
Ingredients
- 1 bunch fresh asparagus (about 1 pound)
- 2 Tbsp avocado oil (or olive oil)
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- Optional: 2 cloves garlic (minced), juice of 1/2 lemon, grated Parmesan cheese for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
- Prepare the asparagus: Rinse the asparagus and pat dry. Trim the tough ends by bending each stalk gently until it snaps or cut about 1-2 inches off the bottom.
- Season: Place the asparagus on the baking sheet. Drizzle with avocado or olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss to coat evenly. Add minced garlic if using.
- Arrange: Spread the asparagus out in a single layer to ensure even roasting.
- Roast: Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the asparagus is tender and slightly crispy on the tips. Thicker stalks may need a couple more minutes.
- Finish and serve: Remove from oven and, if desired, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.
