The Best Way to cook asparagus
Hey there! Want to make tasty asparagus? Here's the easiest way to do it:
- Wash your asparagus and snap off the woody ends (just bend them and they'll break naturally)
- Heat your oven to 400°F (200°C)
- Put asparagus on a baking sheet
- Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper
- Roast for 12-15 minutes until tender but still crispy
That's it! Super simple, right? The asparagus should be bright green and you can poke it easily with a fork when it's done.
Pro Tips:
- Don't overcook it - mushy asparagus is gross!
- Try squeezing some lemon juice on top when it's done
- If the stalks are thick, they might need an extra 2-3 minutes
