If you’ve had roasted garlic, you can understand the appeal of this Roasted Asparagus with Garlic. There’s something very special about the flavor of garlic cloves that are quickly roasted with fresh asparagus, and in this recipe the asparagus marinates a couple of hours with the garlic and some olive oil to add a slight taste of garlic to the asparagus as well. We used a lot of garlic, so this may not be suitable for a romantic dinner; use the amount of garlic you prefer.

This favorite way to cook asparagus is similar to the recipes for Roasted Broccoli with Garlic and Roasted Cauliflower with Garlic that so many Kalyn’s Kitchen readers have tried and loved. I used the big pre-peeled garlic cloves that come in a bag at Costco, but if I had to stand there and peel them, I might have used less. Maybe not though, because garlic is one of the World’s Healthiest Foods, and has many health benefits. This is perfect to make with thicker asparagus spears, and if you like asparagus and garlic I predict this is something you’ll want to make over and over!
