Recipe by: swedishmilk

"Salty and savory, the roasting method kills the natural bitterness of asparagus. Try it next to grilled fish or lamb."

Footnotes
  • Cook's Note
  • To remove woody ends, grab stalk of asparagus at either end and bend until it snaps. It will naturally snap where it starts to get tough.
  • Tip
  • Aluminum foil can be used to keep food moist, cook it evenly, and make clean-up easier.
