Roasted Asparagus
The easiest way to get asparagus into your diet is roasting them. Throw them on a baking sheet or tray and letting the oven work it’s thing. It doesn’t get any easier. But not everyone’s a fan of these green stalks! Coming up with ways for everyone to enjoy them can be a nightmare! That’s where this asparagus recipe comes in! You’re only four main ingredients away from having the best asparagus of your life!
- Asparagus ✓
- Garlic ✓
- Olive oil ✓
- Mozzarella Cheese ✓
Roast Asparagus Tips
- Snap off the woody dry ends of the asparagus. A quicker way when cooking a large bunch like this is to snap the end off one first, then line them all up on your chopping board and slice through the rest at the same length.
- Drizzle with a delicious olive oil/garlic mixture.
- Roast! I roast these for only 10 minutes first to avoid over cooking them. Just make sure your oven is preheated!
- Top with mozzarella cheese and broil (or grill)! You could use whatever cheese you have on hand here, preferably a nice mild melting cheese.
All done in less than 15 minutes!

Made this last night and it was Fantastic and Easy! My husband said it was like eating Asparagus Pizza 🙂
Karina says
Asparagus pizza doesn’t sound bad. 😉
Seth Mann says
I used parchment paper, which burned, for some reason. However, I caught it in time, took the burnt paper out and it turned out wonderfully, cooking the broccoli for twelve minutes before putting on the cheese for four. I used sharp cheddar and ghost pepper garlic salt seasoning, along with avocado oil. Thanks for the base recipe, though. Had been looking to make my asparagus a bit more tasty and this more than did the trick. Thanks so much!
Joan says
Broccoli?

This was wonderful! Even got my nonveggie eating son to eat 4! Fantastic, simple, easy, and delicious! Thank you!
Olie says
This is a delicious recipe. I love it, but wanted to boost it with a couple more ingredients. I used thinly sliced mushrooms and onion scattered over the top before roasting. The flavor is phenomenal.
Kate says
My oven smoked a TON! Delish but I have a house of smoke. What did I do wrong?
Francis says
This is so good and easy! I loved it. It’s the best asparagus I’ve ever had.

My wife and I love it. Thank you
John says
Delicious recipe, and very easy. Thank you.
Sandy says
I just made this recipe for the first time! It’s so delicious. I used garlic powder instead of garlic.
Will make it again, next time with white asparagus!!
Mary Flavelle says
The white asparagus is so popular in Alsace isn’t spring…..yummy…just the thought takes me back there.
Sarah says
So is the nutritional info for four servings or for six. The size and macros would change quite a bit if I divide into four but it’s actually 1 of 6 servings.
Kat says
Made this tonight wish I had doubled the recipe as it was gone before I could have seconds!
Karina says
I use the nutritional USDA serving amount on all my information. Hope that helps!
Barry says
i see the nutritional info but I cant find the serving size. Can anyone tell me how many stalks would be in a serving size to met the nutritional pane?
Shannon says
What temp and for how long? I want to make this tonight! It looks delicious!!
Karina says
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Bake for 10-15 minutes until vibrant and just beginning to get tender. ENJOY!!

That is great to hear! Thank you so much for sharing! I am so glad that you enjoyed it and it looked delicious! Win-Win! Thank you for sharing and following along with me!
Lisa A. says
Looks fantastic! How do I get the garlic all smooth and creamy-looking like that? I’ve minced garlic before but it comes out just little pieces not liquidy like in your video.
Karina says
Thank you! I sometimes like to use a garlic paste that you can purchase in the produce section by the lettuce. It makes it a little smoother to use and easier to spread. Hope you enjoy your roasted asparagus! They are delicious!
Janet says
I so love these receipes
Jessica says
I made this with a little adjustment. I didn’t have fresh garlic on hand so I used garlic power, and I brushed the olive oil mixture on. I didn’t use as much cheese as I should have, which I will remedy next time. This is so easy and delicious, and looks kind of fancy even though it’s such a simple recipe. I am now obsessed with cheesy asparagus and will make it ALL THE TIME.
Bev says
Made this for Easter dinner. It was a hit with everyone! So good and so, so easy and quick.
Joyce says
Looks delish! I plan on adding this to our Easter dinner. Yummy!
John says
I made this the other day, I had a leftover grilled boneless chicken breast I cut that thin and put that on the asparagus it made a great fast and amazing meal! This is a KEEPER!
David Doyle says

Janet says
I wish I had your talent of making your food look absolutely delicious!!! I follow your directions to the letter and my dishes do not ever look like yours. Oh well, maybe that’s why I ended up being a teacher and not a “foodie”. Thanks
