This simple roasted asparagus dish celebrates the delicate flavour of seasonal greens. By roasting the spears at a high temperature, the tips become crisp and the stalks develop a subtle, sweet nuttiness that boiling simply cannot achieve. It is a sophisticated way to serve this favourite spring vegetable, requiring very little preparation for a high-impact result.

As a versatile vegetarian side, these spears are wonderful served alongside a Sunday roast, tossed into a warm grain salad, or served simply as a light starter. The addition of tangy aged balsamic vinegar and salty Parmesan shavings provides a perfect balance to the earthy asparagus. For the best texture, ensure you use large spears and peel the lower stalks if they feel particularly woody.

How to make Roasted Asparagus

Back to contents

Preheat oven to 204°C. Arrange asparagus spears in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle oil over asparagus and turn to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Roast, turning occasionally, until lightly browned and just tender, 18-20 minutes.

Transfer asparagus to a platter. To serve, drizzle vinegar over hot asparagus and use a vegetable peeler to shave Parmesan over the spears.
