I believe that every single meal on the planet can be made better with a green veggie. And thankfully there are a lot of delicious green vegetables in the world. What are your favorites?

I’m asking you because there is no way I could decide. Every single one is my favorite, asparagus included. I have made this version of baked asparagus for years and it is DELICIOUS.

This is the perfect way to enjoy NON-mushy veggies with a scrumptious sauce that is super easy to make. It goes great with literally any meal, whether it is a huge holiday spread or a simple weeknight dinner. Take advantage of asparagus season and enjoy this yummy side!

HOW TO MAKE BAKED ASPARAGUS

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Arrange a bunch of asparagus spears (with ends trimmed) in a single layer on a baking sheet and drizzle olive oil over the top. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Cook asparagus in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.

RECIPE NOTES: BAKED ASPARAGUS

  • Asparagus with Parmesan cheese is an undeniably delicious combo. After pouring the balsamic butter sauce over the top, sprinkle Parmesan over the top for an extra punch of flavor.

  • Sprinkle garlic powder over the asparagus before baking for added flavor.

  • Squirt lemon juice over the top juice before serving!

  • Use gluten free soy sauce to make this a gluten-free recipe.

OTHER DELICIOUS ASPARAGUS RECIPES

If you have an abundance of asparagus on your hands, consider adding it to veggie confetti pasta or make my favorite EASY asparagus side. Add it to a piece of foil and cook it on the grill with this parmesan salmon. This grilled scallops and veggies dinner isn’t the same without the yummy green stalks!

CAN DOGS EAT ASPARAGUS

Dogs can definitely eat the green vegetable, but when uncooked it can cause gas or bloating. Consider steaming it first before feeding it to your pooch.
