Tips for making the perfect roasted asparagus

Choose asparagus that are all the same thickness to ensure even cooking.
Either trim the asparagus with a knife, or hold either end of the asparagus stalk, and bend until the asparagus snaps. It will naturally snap where the woody end begins.
Simply coat the asparagus in olive oil and salt and pepper, or add your favorite herbs, spices or even parmesan cheese.
The thicker the asparagus stalks, the longer they will take to cook.
