Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Tips:

  • To choose the best asparagus, look for spears that are firm and have tightly closed tips. Avoid spears that are limp or have woody ends.
  • When preparing asparagus, snap off the tough ends of the spears. You can do this by bending each spear until it snaps naturally.
  • Asparagus can be cooked in a variety of ways, including boiling, steaming, roasting, and grilling. For this recipe, we will be roasting the asparagus.
  • To make the orange-ginger butter, simply combine melted butter, orange zest, ginger, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
  • When roasting the asparagus, be sure to spread the spears in a single layer on a baking sheet. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Roast the asparagus for 10-12 minutes, or until it is tender-crisp. Do not overcook the asparagus, or it will become mushy.
  • Once the asparagus is roasted, toss it with the orange-ginger butter. Serve immediately.

Conclusion:

This roasted asparagus with orange-ginger butter is a delicious and easy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The asparagus is tender-crisp and flavorful, and the orange-ginger butter adds a bright and tangy flavor. This dish is sure to impress your guests.
