Notes
- Thinner spears will take closer to 6 minutes, while thicker spears will need closer to 12 minutes.
- Try any of the following variations: Browned butter, a squeeze of lemon or zest, hollandaise sauce, or bearnaise sauce for serving.
- Ensure the oven is preheated to get the best caramelization.
- If possible, choose thicker stalks of asparagus, they caramelize better without overcooking.
