"Ridiculously Easy Roasted Asparagus" Food Tip of the Week

Slim stalks of asparagus just scream of spring. Blanching or steaming has long been the cooking method of choice for these tender spears, though all that moisture can leach out the bright green color and make asparagus stringy, even mushy. Roasting or grilling asparagus concentrates the sweet, green-ness of the vegetable and adds a crispy, caramelized crunch that makes it irresistible. Toss the spears with olive oil, salt and pepper and roast in a 400-degree oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the stalks are just tender and have taken on a rich, caramel brown in places (don't fear the browning, this makes it delicious).
If you're grilling, just toss the oiled and seasoned spears onto a pre-heated grill -- just be sure to use a grill basket, or some careful tong-work, to prevent the spears from slipping between the grate. Sprinkle the hot spears with a little balsamic vinegar or serve plain. You'll never go back to steaming.

This is my go to video on how to make this. I cook it as often as possible. I love it!

[@linmheath]

I use this same process for bell peppers, broccoli, sweet pearl onions and potatoes... OMG it's sooo good. I tried asparagus with this method a few weeks ago and it's the ONLY way I actually like (LOVE) asparagus.

[@gigimcgary]

Thank you! I have yet to buy Asparagus because I didn't know how to cook it. I'm excited to try it this way- Thanks again, Gina

[@GreatChefs]

That does look ridiculously easy, also looks great as well. I'm going to have to try that out tonight. Thanks for the great video!

[@positivewrldchng]

[@titansolaris]

Wow this looks good, im cooking it right now as we speak, ill tell you if I liked it. I'm happy that I got all the engredients hehe.

[@rdturtle]

A great variation is to add lightly toasted sesame seeds once they're roasted. . pan toast the seseme seeds and then sprinkle them on the finished asparagus.

[@joelarama]

Loved this..also I had forgotten how Asparagus is so good for you too. Thanks for posting this..I shall steal your method as steaming, as you say, tends to loose flavour, flavor? (UK here) Thats so weird we have that spelling thing! Love Asparagussy. Best.

[@MynamesAnthonyhi]

omg i just made it! and instead of balsomic, i used red wine vinagar, so right it adds a kick! wicked goood, me n my dad usally grill it when he gets home im going to tlll him and show him to make it like this for now on thank you!

[@sinnnatra]

I like this...I probably used a little too much salt...but it tasted good and flavorful.....Probably best to use Kosher salt not sea salt

[@tadshackles]

PLEASE invest in a wireless lapell microphone. Good ones are less then 100 dollars and they make a HUGE world of difference in the sound quality in a video!
Great video though! I LOOOOOVE aspargas and can't wait to try it this way. I have always blanched and pan fried aspargas so this is exciting for me.

[@NaRdOsF]

delicious recipe thank you for sharing. one question though. can i make this recipe with different kinds of vegetables like broccoli and carrots?

[@mukarung]

[@Critique808]

You should add some minced garlic.

[@liuzhou]

@joelarama Whether you are in the UK or USA it's 'lose' not 'loose'! Learn the difference.

[@kpj805]

@narungga hhahahahhaah, wtf.

[@AntoDamicoShow]

NALTS!

[@kbs1212]

@Peppermintface Wow. And then people complain that the video is too long, too much detail, etc. What is wrong with you people? Just assume that she's washed them already or wash them yourself, unless you need a video tutorial to tell you how to do that.
