Oven Roasted Asparagus

We used this as a side dish for our dinner tonight.  It is a very simple and tasty way to cook asparagus!


1 bunch of asparagus
1-2 Tbsp. Olive oil
Garlic Salt to taste



Preheat oven to 350. Rinse asparagus and snap off ends.


 Place in small baking dish and drizzle oil over them. Sprinkle garlic salt (sometimes I will do fresh minced garlic, thyme, and salt. This is much easier though). Lightly stir so each asparagus has oil and garlic salt. 


Bake in oven for 30 min, testing with a fork for tenderness.

* As a side note, I actually used two bunches of asparagus, that is why it looks like a lot

  1. What do you use for a dipping sauce when you make this?

  2. Rachel, sometimes I make a sauce to go with the asparagus, but usually I don't just because the seasoning can really hold its own in this recipe. However, since sauce makes everything taste better, I would use this cheese sauce recipe: http://healthykitchenflavors.blogspot.com/2010/09/gourmet-cheese-sauce.html
