Roasted Asparagus

This simple roasted asparagus dish celebrates the delicate flavour of seasonal greens. By roasting the spears at a high temperature, the tips become crisp and the stalks develop a subtle, sweet nuttiness that boiling simply cannot achieve. It is a sophisticated way to serve this favourite spring vegetable, requiring very little preparation for a high-impact result.

As a versatile vegetarian side, these spears are wonderful served alongside a Sunday roast, tossed into a warm grain salad, or served simply as a light starter. The addition of tangy aged balsamic vinegar and salty Parmesan shavings provides a perfect balance to the earthy asparagus. For the best texture, ensure you use large spears and peel the lower stalks if they feel particularly woody.

Ingredients for Roasted Asparagus

  • 24 large asparagus spears (about 900g ), trimmed and peeled

  • Extra-virgin olive oil

  • Coarse sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

  • Aged balsamic vinegar

  • Parmesan, for shaving

Preheat oven to 204°C. Arrange asparagus spears in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle oil over asparagus and turn to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Roast, turning occasionally, until lightly browned and just tender, 18-20 minutes.

Transfer asparagus to a platter. To serve, drizzle vinegar over hot asparagus and use a vegetable peeler to shave Parmesan over the spears.
