Roasted Asparagus Oven Baked

This oven baked roasted asparagus recipe is quick, easy, and delicious. It’s the side you will want to make again and again. More importantly your family will ask for it again and again. Seriously, just bookmark this roasted asparagus now because it’s going to be your new go to.

Even if you think you already know how to cook asparagus. Stay tuned to see how I roast asparagus in the oven perfectly every time. And if you’re not adding parmesan, you should be! Who doesn’t love cheese?!

Oven roasted parmesan asparagus

History:

Growing up my mom served us a lot of vegetables. But they were often very basic. We literally rotated between corn, peas and green beans. Each seasoned with butter, salt and pepper.

When asked if I liked other vegetables I would respond with, “Not really.”

Little did I know I LOVE veggies! Especially green veggies. And my favorite way to prepare them is oven roasting them, it brings out a sweetness that I seriously crave. Topping my list of favorites is baked asparagus, baked parmesan asparagus to be more specific.

There’s just something about the sweetness from the oven roasted asparagus mixed with the nuttiness of the parmesan that make it the perfect combo. I’ll be right back, I need to go wipe the drool from my face.

Can you eat asparagus raw?

Absolutely! I love to take a vegetable peeler and add a few raw asparagus shavings to my salad from time to time.  Although you CAN eat it raw, asparagus is one of those vegetables that just happens to be even better for you cooked.

Cooking the asparagus breaks down the fiber, which makes it easier to digest and absorb the nutrients. It also increases the antioxidant activity. But whether you eat it raw or cooked you really can’t go wrong. Roasted asparagus is the best. 

Ingredients for roasted asparagus

What are the benefits of eating asparagus?

  • Asparagus is loaded with all kinds of nutrients and vitamins.
  • It’s a good source of fiber.
  • Fights PMS! ! !
  • It reduces the risk of heart disease.
  • Prevents birth defects during pregnancy.
  • Helps maintain healthy blood sugar levels.
  • Good remedy for hangovers, anxiety and reducing stress.
  • Protects against and fights certain forms of cancer.

This is just a few of the benefits, it truly is a powerhouse vegetable.

How do you cook asparagus?

There are a few ways you can cook asparagus:

  • Grill
  • Saute
  • Boil
  • Steam
  • Bake/Oven roast

Each preparation varies in cooking time and really does come down to the thickness of the asparagus.

One common thing for each cooking technique is you will want to wash the asparagus and then cut the bottom of the stems off. I remember one of my girlfriends showing me the “Elle Woods Way” as she called it. You literally bend the asparagus and it will snap where it is meant to…..on. Its. own. Okay, maybe it’s not THAT fascinating, but it IS one less thing to do. Tell me that’s not a win?!

Roasting asparagus is the best option (in my opinion). But because I love you guys, and I am going to share a few other options:

How long do you grill asparagus?

  • Medium/High heat 5-10 minutes
  • High heat 3-5 minutes

You will need to coat the asparagus in olive oil or a marinade and season to your liking. Then place it on the grill in the direct heat. Remember to keep turning the asparagus so all the sides cook evenly and it doesn’t get too charred.

Some other great grilling recipes to practice with are Grilled Greek Chicken, Grilled Roasted Garlic and Cracked Black Pepper Pork Ramen, and Grilled ABC Sandwich. These are so easy and fun to make, and it will help sharpen your grilling skills.

How long do you cook asparagus on the stove?

  • Boiling  5-7 minutes
  • Steaming 5-10 minutes
  • Sauteing 5-7 minutes

How long do you cook asparagus in the oven?

  • 375°F 15-17 minutes
  • 400°F 12-15 minutes
  • 425°F 10-12 minutes

Oven roasted parmesan asparagus is a great vegetable side dish.

Roasted Asparagus Goes Great With:

  • Braised Short Ribs
  • Roast Chicken
  • Garlic Butter Shrimp
  • Instant Pot Lasagna
  • Apple Butternut Squash Soup
  • Mom’s Dinner Rolls
  • Spicy Italian Lasagna Roll Ups
