How to Make Garlic Butter Roasted Asparagus

To make it, I snap the tough ends off of my asparagus and arrange them in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Then, I mix together my melted butter, garlic, salt, and pepper and drizzle it over the top. Next, I gently toss to make sure it is well coated and then just pop it into the oven to roast.

Ready in minutes, this delicious roasted asparagus is a definite go-to recipe in my house. It is great with beef tenderloin, baked chicken, and pork chops, and we love it with my parmesan-crusted baked salmon! I enjoy serving it for brunch alongside Eggs Benedict, too!

How to Keep Asparagus Fresh Longer

To keep your asparagus fresh for a long time after you get it home from the grocery store, simply place it with the stems down into a large mouth, quart jar. Then, add fresh, cool water to the jar making sure to cover about 2 inches of the stems with water. Place the jar into the refrigerator and store for up to a couple of weeks. When ready to use it, break away the tough ends and prepare your recipe as instructed.

    The recipe was marvelous! I used one bunch of the thinner asparagus as that is what I was able to obtain. I’ll make it again as soon as the thicker asparagus is available. There was a little too much salt but perhaps it was due to the amount of asparagus I cooked. It really was so easy to prepare!

    1. If you had a smaller amount of asparagus, there might be too much salt. Also, make sure you use kosher salt. It is not as “salty” tasting as regular table salt.

    So I have an All Recipes app and a New York Times Cooking app. I’ve found better recipes here than I have on them!! So… where is your app?? Keep up the deliciously healthy eating inspiring work!! 

    1. So am I missing something as I read this on my phone or did the (LOL?) asparagus get left off the ingredient list? I’m thinking some people like to know how much did you start with…

    Asparagus is one of my favorite vegetables to roast! I kid you not, sometimes I need to make 2 bunches just because it is such a hit with the family. Love this 🙂
