Oven-Roasted Asparagus
“Asparagus never tasted so good! Simply seasoned with butter and green onions, they taste fresh and keep their bright green colour, too. They’re so good, you might want to make extra. This is how to cook asparagus in the oven.” —Jody Fisher, Stewartstown, Pennsylvania

Recipe Notes
Test Kitchen Tips
- Thinly sliced green onions are an economical substitute for fresh chives from the herb section.
- For the ultimate flavour, use fresh produce when it’s in season. In spring, that means asparagus, peas, artichokes and fennel. In summer, eggplant, arugula, summer squash and tomatoes shine. Fall’s finest? Butternut squash, Brussels sprouts and carrots, to name a few.
