What originally made me giggle with laughter eventually turned into a distaste for the vegetable.
It always seemed to taste overly bitter, like because it was prepared improperly.
These days, I see this magical vegetable in an entirely new light.

It aims to have a nice and crunchy texture.
Hurt immediately spoke highly of roasted asparagus, which made me feel even more confident about my preferences.
I love roasting asparagus, she says, It’s simply the best way of cooking this delicious vegetable.
Its so, so good, she exclaims.
Outside ofgrillingTheres absolutely no other way Id ever cook asparagus.
Hurt loves roasted asparagus so much that she even included a simple recipe in herUnofficial Aldi Cookbook.
Start by preheating the oven to 425F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Remove and discard the woody ends first, then place the asparagus on the baking sheet.
Drizzle with olive and season with salt and pepper before giving the asparagus a good toss until lightly coated.
Rearrange the stalks into a single layer on the baking sheet, then place the sheet into the oven.
Alternatively, thicker asparagus will need at least 15 to 20 minutes to fully cook through.
As the asparagus cools, season further with salt and pepper before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy.
