Only thing I do differently is sprinkle garlic powder after salt/pepper seasoning. Might also be good to try lemon pepper.
It was so easy. This turned out perfect! Thank you!
Do you have a recommended olive oil spritzer? On Amazon I see prices from about $10 to $30!
I have a misto
What a simple yet delicious way to make asparagus, i can’t wait to try it
Delicious! Â
Delicious! Â Make sure you dry the asparagus after washing or they will steam and not roast.
Made it using the garlic variation.

First time preparing asparagus. This is so quick, healthy and very tasty! Thanks Gina
I tried roasting asparagus in my air fryer, and can’t eat it any other way now! So so good. Same way, a little olive oil and seasonings of your choice! Delish
Hi!!! THIS is what I was thinking!!! How long did they take at 400?
I roasted the asparagus exactly how the recipe says, turned out perfect. Thank you!
great!
I always have trouble getting asparagus to turn out just right! Can’t wait to try this temp/time combo and I love your seasoning recommendations!
best way to prepare asparagus. I do add a few red pepper flakes and my family likes that.
If you are using an olive oil spritzer, how much olive oil do you estimate per spritz?
It’s less than a teaspoon
I sprinkle lemon pepper salt on my asparagus. My husband and I love it.
This is the perfect – and IMHO ONLY – way to serve asparagus! I love to top it with lemon zest. It’s bright, colorful and adds just the right zing.Â
I hate mushy asparagus so I decided to try this last night since I was baking a piece of salmon at 400 degrees and my Mom wanted asparagus.. It was so good that the three of us finished off the entire bunch. The only change I made was to leave off the pepper and add some minced garlic instead.

When I put this in recipe builder on WW it comes up as 1 pp+…am I doing something wrong?
I substituted the olive oil spray with melted unsalted butter and wrapped 3 at a time in bacon…awesome and delish!!!
I was inspired and added my own twist to this recipe! Dipped asparagus is egg and then rolled in breadcrumbs, sprinkled some grated parmasean cheese and sprayed with butter. Put in the oven on 375 for about 13 minutes. DELICIOUS!!
So you made a totally different recipe….kudos to you.
This was great!!! My husband and I loved it. Simple, healthy and delicious.
Made this tonight–I've never made asparagus before. Will be making this again and again in the future! Thanks!
I love this dish! So simple to throw together when you need another side dish to complete a meal. I sprinkled just a touch of parmesean cheese when pulling out of the oven! Delicious! Thanks, Gina!
i make this with some breadcrumbs and fresh garlic.. sure less skinny but awfully delish 🙂
Made this for Christmas dinner.. added a bit of lemon pepper – awesome!!! 🙂
Enjoyed with minced garlic at lunch. Very filling!
This recipe is a great, simple way to enjoy asparagus. To kick it up a little, I added fresh minced garlic to the asparagus before roasting.
