Steps:
- Peel the asparagus, using a swivel-bladed knife, starting about 2 inches from the top. Remove the tough ends.

Tips:
- Choose the right asparagus: Look for asparagus spears that are firm and have tightly closed tips. Avoid spears that are wilted or have brown spots.
- Trim the asparagus properly: Cut off the woody ends of the asparagus spears. You can use a sharp knife or a vegetable peeler to do this.
- Roast the asparagus at a high temperature: This will help to caramelize the asparagus and give it a slightly crispy texture.
- Add some flavorings: Olive oil, salt, and pepper are all good basic flavorings for roasted asparagus. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as garlic, lemon zest, or Parmesan cheese.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When roasting asparagus, it's important to not overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the asparagus from cooking evenly.
- Roast the asparagus until it is tender-crisp: Roasted asparagus should be tender-crisp, not mushy. The best way to tell if the asparagus is done is to pierce it with a fork. If the fork goes through easily, the asparagus is done.
Conclusion:
Roasted asparagus is a delicious and easy side dish that can be enjoyed all year long. It is a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables, and it is also a good source of vitamins and minerals. With a few simple tips, you can easily make roasted asparagus at home. So next time you're looking for a healthy and flavorful side dish, give roasted asparagus a try.
