Tips:
- Choose the right asparagus. Look for spears that are bright green and have tight, closed tips. Avoid spears that are limp or have yellow or brown spots.
- Trim the asparagus properly. Cut off the tough, woody ends of the asparagus spears. You can do this by snapping them off or using a knife.
- Roast the asparagus at a high temperature. This will help to caramelize the asparagus and give it a slightly smoky flavor.
- Make sure the asparagus is cooked through before serving. You can test this by piercing the asparagus with a fork. If the fork goes through easily, the asparagus is cooked.
- Serve the asparagus immediately with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular choices include Hollandaise sauce, vinaigrette, or lemon butter.

Roasted asparagus is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed on its own or with a variety of main courses. It is a healthy and flavorful way to get your daily dose of vegetables. With its smoky gouda cheese sauce, this recipe takes roasted asparagus to the next level. The creamy, cheesy sauce is the perfect complement to the tender, roasted asparagus.
