Broiled Asparagus
Broiled asparagus is the fastest way to roast asparagus in the oven! Oven broiled asparagus takes 8 minutes to roast, yielding tender, lightly crispy spears.
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 bunches fresh asparagus
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Remove about ¼ inch off the bottom of your asparagus.
- Optional: use a vegetable peeler to peel 3-4 inches of the asparagus stems, removing the thin, dark green top layer of the stems. This part is tougher when cooked!
- Toss asparagus in olive oil and salt to taste. Place asparagus in a single layer on a large baking sheet.
- Move oven rack to the middle of your oven, about 8-9 inches from the broiler. Broil your asparagus on a high-broil for 7-9 minutes until they’re bright green, and the tips are lightly crispy. Serve hot or room temperature!
