– asparagus – olive oil spray/cooking spray – kosher salt – black pepper
Start to gently wiggle or bend an asparagus spear near the bottom. It should naturally tend to snap at the right point.
Next, rinse off the spears and pat them completely dry. Then, spread them out evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Just before the rest of the meal is ready to serve, pop those spears in the oven and roast them up, without turning … simply leave them on their own to get nice, seared spots.
Hands-down, for the best roasted asparagus, go for 475°F.
