Oven Roasted Asparagus with Olive Oil, Salt and Pepper

Oven Roasted Asparagus with Olive Oil, Salt and Pepper

Salty and savory, the roasting method kills the natural bitterness of asparagus. For a simple side dish, try Ina Garten’s Roasted Asparagus from Barefoot Contessa on Food Network; the recipe uses only asparagus, olive oil, salt and pepper.

  • Total Time: :35
  • Yield: 8 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds fresh asparagus
  • Good olive oil
  • Kosher salt, plus extra for sprinkling
  • Freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

Preparation
Wash and thoroughly dry the asparagus. Remove the tough ends and peel the lower stalks if thick or fibrous. Toss with olive oil to coat, then season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Oven Method
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Arrange the asparagus in a single layer on a baking sheet, using a second sheet if needed. Roast until tender but still slightly crisp, about 25 minutes for thick spears. Check thinner spears earlier to avoid overcooking.

Air-Fryer Method
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F. Arrange the seasoned asparagus in a single layer in the basket, working in batches if necessary. Cook for approximately 7 minutes, checking for tenderness and adjusting the time for spear thickness.

Notes

The listed 35-minute total is for the oven method. Air-fryer cooking takes approximately 7 minutes per batch, plus preparation and preheating.
