Oh asparagus, how I love thee! I could eat it every single night and never tire of it and this garlic butter roasted version is one of my absolute favorite ways to make it!

How to Make Garlic Butter Roasted Asparagus Recipe

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 of the asparagus. Next, I gently toss the asparagus 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, pork chops, and we love it with baked salmon!

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 the asparagus break away the hard ends and prepare your recipe as instructed.

Here’s my Garlic Butter Roasted Asparagus Recipe. I hope you love it.
