Notes
- Store leftover roasted asparagus in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- To reheat, spread the asparagus on a baking sheet and warm in a 350°F oven for a few minutes, or until heated through, to help retain its crispness.
- Roasted asparagus makes a vibrant side dish for grilled salmon or chicken.
- For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes along with the other seasonings before roasting.
