Sometimes the best way to prepare simple ingredients such as asparagus is to keep it easy.

Lay your asparagus stalks in a single layer on a sheet pan or large rimmed baking sheet, coat with oil and sprinkle with some parmesan cheese, garlic powder (or fresh garlic) kosher salt, lemon zest (or squeeze of lemon juice), red pepper flakes or black pepper.

Roasting asparagus on 425 degrees is the easiest way to get perfectly cooked asparagus.

You can use a vegetable peeler to trim very thick asparagus if needed and be sure to cut off any woody ends of the asparagus.
