Roasted Asparagus is one of our favorite ways to enjoy asparagus season! Roasting brings out the best flavor, adds a phenomenal crisp and it's a mess free option. We love roasting asparagus with lots of butter, simple seasoning and some parmesan cheese--SO GOOD! This will be your favorite side dish for brunch, dinner or your best lunch!

Notes
- Roasted Asparagus Recipe Tips Buy fresh seasonal asparagus that's bright green and firm to touch. The spears should not be mushy or wilted. You can choose any thickness or size you want, as long as they're all the same. To store fresh asparagus: place them in a glass of water with the stems at the bottom. Just fill out 2 inches of water and store that in the fridge. Trim the bunch once you've trimmed just one, and use a sharp knife. Don't throw away the trimmed bottoms as they're great for soups, stews, pestos and more! The flavoring of parmesan cheese, butter and herbs is optional but we LOVE it! See more below on flavor variations. Have your oven preheated before you place the tray in the oven. Try to arrange the asparagus in a single layer before roasting, this ensures even cooking without having to shake them halfway. It's best to serve them right away while warm on a side of Ribeye Steak or Lamb Steaks or Best NY Strip Steak! Seasoning and Variations Make it zesty with lemon zest, lemon wedges, garlic and olive oil. You can finish it off with some feta cheese. Have a Caprese flavor to it by adding some Basil Pesto, fresh tomatoes and mozzarella and then roasting. SO GOOD finished off with a balsamic drizzle. Mediterranean: season with some thyme, garlic and finish off with toasted pine nuts and feta cheese. Cajun: Sprinkle your favorite cajun spice blend, roast and finish off with some cheddar cheese. Cheeses like goat cheese and toasted almonds pair so well here for a fancy version. How to Store Leftovers
- If you actually have any leftovers, simply place them in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 5 days. We LOVE reheating them in the Air Fryer at 350 degrees for just 3 minutes.
