Equipment

  • Oven: Used for roasting the asparagus if desired. Preheat to 400°F (200°C) as an optional step.
  • Baking Sheet: Required to place the drained and seasoned asparagus spears for roasting. Use parchment paper or foil to line the baking sheet for easier cleanup.
  • Cooking Oil Spray Bottle with Extra Virgin Olive Oil: Essential for lightly coating the asparagus spears to prevent sticking and facilitate roasting. The spray helps distribute the oil evenly.

  • Serving Dish: Used to transfer the asparagus spears once they’re roasted or served straight from the can for presentation.

Ingredients

Instructions

Preheat the Oven (Optional):

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) if you plan to roast the asparagus for a delicious flavor.

Prepare the Asparagus:

Season the Asparagus:

Add Black Pepper:

Roast the Asparagus (Optional):

  • If roasting, place the baking sheet with the seasoned asparagus in the preheated oven.
  • Roast for approximately 10-12 minutes or until the asparagus is heated through and slightly browned at the edges. Cooking time may vary based on your desired level of doneness.

Serve Warm:

  • Once roasted or if served straight from the can, transfer the asparagus to a serving dish.

Garnish (Optional):

  • Optionally, you can add a squeeze of lemon juice or a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese for added flavor before serving.

Enjoy:

  • Serve the delicious Green Giant Canned Asparagus as a tasty side dish alongside your favorite main course or as a part of your meal.
