Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Place the asparagus on a large rimmed baking sheet and toss with the olive oil, salt and pepper. Spread in an even layer and roast for 6-8 minutes until crisp tender.
Pro tip: Snap off the tough, woody bottom of one stalk, then line it up next to the rest of the asparagus on a cutting board and cut the remaining off at the same spot.
Cooking time depends on the size of your asparagus. Pencil thin asparagus will take 5-6 minutes in the oven, while larger stalks will take between 8-10 minutes.
Store leftover roasted asparagus in an air tight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
