I made this recently and absoutely loved it! I’ve only ever had asparagus steamed (thankfully not overcooked, though), so I was excited to try a different method. Thanks for the wonderful recipe!

First, I had to stop and admire your photography. Lovely, lovely, lovely.
Then I smacked myself in the forehead– why have I never thought to pan roast my asparagus instead of using a blazing hot oven?! Duh.
Next time, I’m doing it your way. Like you, soggy asparagus does not work. Yuk!

Hee, my memories of asparagus are generally good. It begins with eating canned cream of asp soup as a kid, lol. Most of the time, it’s *me* who does the messing up of cooking them! Thanks for this much easier recipe!

There is nothing worse than mushy, overcooked asparagus! Your asparagus looks amazing – still so bright green! I have only roasted it in the oven, but will have to try it in a pan. Your pictures are beautiful, as always!

Your pictures of asparagus are so beautiful it makes it look super yum! The price here is so low on asparagus, we’ve been buying it a lot! Love it roasted in a pan or in the oven on a cookie sheet!

I looooove pan-roasting my asparagus! When I’m feeling crafty, I sometimes roast it in sesame oil and a little touch of soy sauce. Dee-freakin-licious.

This is perfect since I just bought asparagus and didn’t want to boil them like usual…looks good!
