Cooking Asparagus in the oven?

Can anyone tell me how to cook fresh sparagus in the oven, just very simply, with times and Gas marks.

admin answers:

I roast asparagus all the time in the oven. It's delicious. So much more tastier than steaming it.

Simply clean your asparagus and cut the ends. Next, lay them out on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt & pepper. Take a clove or two of garlic, slice it real thin and incorporate this with the asparagus as well. Finally, place in a 425° oven for about 12-15 minutes or until the asparagus is tender. (About half way through the roasting time, take the asparagus out and mix up to ensure even roasting.) After roasting, drizzle the juice of 1/2 a lemon over asparagus and serve.

Cooking asparagus in the oven?

Heard of a way to cook it with some butter and parmesain cheese; however, at what degree, how long and covered or not - can anyone help, or other ideas?

admin answers:

Easy! Place cleaned asparagus in a single layer on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil (or butter), plus throw on some chopped garlic, if you'd like. Sprinkle on some salt & pepper. Roast (uncovered) on baking sheet at 400 F for about 10-12 minutes. Sprinkle on some parmesan & return to oven for another 5 minutes or until cheese is melted and golden.
I do it all the time - fave way to make it!

Robert asks…

How do you cook asparagus?

I want the asparagus to be muchy and soft. Do you boil it. If u put it in the oven would it be hard?

admin answers:

I roast my asparagus. I have a rule for both asparagus and brussels sprouts: neither can touch water.

If you want the spears mushy and soft, roast them on a baking tray with a bit of vegetable oil and kosher salt at 375 degrees for 12 to 14 minutes. Check for mushiness and roast a bit longer if you wish.

How long should I bake stuffed salmon?? 10 pts to best!?

I bought a salmon stuffed with crabmeat from the seafood store. It is about 1.25 lbs. I'm already cooking asparagus in the oven at 400 degrees so how long should I put the salmon in for at that temp? Should I wrap it in foil? Put it in a pan of oil or butter? Thanks!

admin answers:

Since it is only 1.25 Lbs. It must be a thick fillet. Stuffed should take 20-25 minutes.

Linda asks…

how long to cook stuffed beef sirloin roast?

i bought a beef sirloin roast stuffed with asparagus and cheese in the middle. The sirloin is wrapped up around it. I got around .9 lbs of it including the asparagus. Im wondering how long should i cook it in the oven on 400 degrees?

admin answers:

At least 30 minutes if you want it well done, you can even go a little longer for a nice golden crisp top. Do not over cook your worst or it may get a little tough but on that temp 30 should be good.
