Easy Roasted Asparagus Recipe
Cooking asparagus in the oven is our favorite. Roasted asparagus is incredibly quick and easy to make and is much more flavorful than if it's steamed. You can switch up the seasonings (we have lots of ideas in the recipe!) so you'll be able to make this no matter what is in your pantry.
