TIPS FOR OVEN-ROASTED ASPARAGUS

  • Ensure the asparagus spears are of similar thickness even when cooking.
  • You can line the baking sheet with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
  • Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a spicier twist before roasting.

VARIATIONS

  • Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the Asparagus before serving for a tangy flavour.
  • Substitute Parmesan with feta cheese for a different taste.
  • Include vegetables like cherry tomatoes or bell peppers for a colourful and varied side dish.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Fridge: Store any leftover asparagus in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheating: Reheat in the oven at 180°C (350°F) for 5-7 minutes or until warmed.
  • Freezer: It’s best to consume fresh, but you can freeze roasted Asparagus for up to 1 month. Thaw in the fridge before reheating.
