Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.

On a baking tray, line up your asparagus. Pour the oil/ butter over top and sprinkle on the garlic powder, salt and pepper. Toss to coat and rearrange the asparagus so it is in a single layer.

Bake for 13-15 minutes or until tender to your liking (I prefer right at 15 minutes).

Let cool slightly and ENJOY!

Tips & Tricks (5)

Dry Your Asparagus Thoroughly 💧
Pat asparagus completely dry with paper towels before roasting to ensure crispy, caramelized edges instead of steamed spears.
Trim Woody Ends Properly ✂️
Bend each spear gently until it naturally snaps at the tender point, rather than cutting—this removes only the tough, woody portions.
Use Single Layer Spacing 📏
Arrange asparagus in a single layer with space between spears so hot air circulates evenly, creating uniform browning on all sides.
Season Before Roasting 🧂
Toss asparagus with oil, salt, and pepper at least 5 minutes before roasting to allow seasoning to penetrate and garlic powder to bloom.
High Heat for Caramelization 🔥
Roast at 425-450°F for 12-15 minutes to achieve a beautiful golden crust while keeping the interior tender and vibrant green.
