Tips & Tricks (5)

Asparagus Selection Matters 🥬
Choose fresh, firm asparagus spears with tight, compact tips and no signs of wilting or yellowing for the best roasting results.
Uniform Cutting Technique 🔪
Trim the woody ends of asparagus by snapping them naturally at their breaking point, ensuring each spear is roughly the same length for even roasting.
Olive Oil Coating Trick 💧
Use your hands to gently massage the olive oil into each asparagus spear, ensuring complete and even coverage for maximum flavor and crispy texture.
Cheese Timing Perfection 🧀
Sprinkle Parmesan cheese in the last 2-3 minutes of roasting to prevent burning and maintain a fresh, slightly melted texture.
Spacing is Key 📏
Arrange asparagus in a single layer with slight spacing between spears to ensure even browning and prevent steaming instead of roasting.
