Baking asparagus is a simple and delicious way to cook this healthy vegetable. Asparagus is a good source of vitamins A, C, and K, as well as folate and fiber. Baking asparagus helps to preserve these nutrients while also caramelizing the natural sugars in the vegetable, resulting in a sweet and flavorful dish.
To bake asparagus, preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Toss the asparagus with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread the asparagus in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast the asparagus for 10-15 minutes, or until it is tender and slightly browned.
