Quick, easy and delicious. Sometimes simple is best! It's important that you not saturate the asparagus with olive oil. If you want really crispy asparagus, use a spray bottle to administer olive oil lightly.

The easiest way to enjoy asparagus! I’m always happy to see fresh asparagus in the stores this time of year. This lightly-roasted asparagus is so delicious. Crispy, crunchy, with a tender flesh inside. You might just eat them right off the pan like finger food.
