Notes
This recipe was made with medium-sized stalks of asparagus. If you use thin stalks, you may need to reduce the roasting time. Check it after 5 to 8 minutes to make sure it isn't burning.
The asparagus will be crisp-tender. If you prefer softer asparagus, leave it in the oven for a few minutes longer.
Substitute butter one for one with olive oil for a vegan version of this recipe.
Garlic can be substituted with 1/8 teaspoon of garlic powder.
Fresh Herbs are optional and can be left out or replaced with a few sprinkles of dried herbs.
