Ingredients
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F with a rack in the middle.
- Trim the woody ends from the asparagus. Optionally halve the spears lengthwise for quicker, more even roasting.
- On a rimmed sheet pan, toss the asparagus with the melted butter and salt and pepper to taste until evenly coated.
- Roast until just tender and lightly browned in spots, 10–12 minutes, tossing once halfway through. Serve hot.
