This easyRoasted Asparagus is super quick to make and is the perfect nutritiousside dish to serve with steak, chicken, fish or pork.
When is season freshasparagus is a regular on our menu. I always feel compelled to grab a bunch when they popup at the grocery storeeachyear, standing upright, as if at attention waiting for someone to notice them. I usually donotice and bring home a bunch or two for this easy and nutritiousRoasted Asparagus. Roasting accentuates flavors in vegetables unlikeothercookingtechniques. Plus, it is so very easy.
Simple ingredients and a little bit of time are all that is needed. Asparagus, sprigs of rosemary,thin lemon slices, aretossed in olive oil, sprinkled with salt and pepper, then roasted on parchment lined baking sheet until preferred doneness. While roasting, I like to check on the asparagus at about 5-7minute intervals to avoid burning. Depending on the oven, total cook time can vary.
Roasted Asparagus is one of our favorite go-to side dishes when servingfish, chicken or steak. We’ve found it such a great option when serving a larger crowd. Not only is it quick, but a large amount can easily be roasted on one pan. Roasted Asparagus is also great sliced up and added to soups, pasta salads or a springtime risotto. We also enjoy it inAsparagus and ShrimpSalad.
I think you will find thisRoasted Asparaguseasy enough you will add it to your regular rotation too. The next time you’re servingchicken, steak, or broiled fish roast up a pan of asparagus and watch it disappear!

I’ve never tried roasted asparagus with rosemary before. I’d like to try it! My go-to option with asparagus is roasted with lemon and GOAT CHEESE. It’s pretty mind blowing.

So tasty looking 🙂 I love asparagus and only cook it one way. Just a couple min. in a hot frying pan with a bit of butter and tiny bit of water. Just enough to make it fairly hot. But its getting old. I need to try this way 🙂

This looks SO good! I am leading a group in a Slow-Carb Diet this month and we are having a sampling party this weekend. We are all bringing a slow-carb food to share. I am going to make this! I love roasted asparagus, but always add tons of parmesan cheese. Well, for this month I am staying away from dairy. Your recipe is perfect!!! Next week I will write a blog about our party and all the food we sampled. I will link this roasted asparagus to your site! Come check it out! Thanks for sharing 🙂

Rosemary grows wild on hill behind my house. Add the lemon slices and this asparagus dish was sublime! I only had the asparagus for dinner and savored every mouthful. Your photo is irristible.
