Notes
Cut or snap off the base of the asparagus stalks where fresh asparagus begins prior to roasting. These are the tough parts that has much less moisture.

Adjust the oven roasting time according to the thickness of the asparagus stalks and how crunchy you want them to be. Increase cooking time for more tenderness and decrease cooking time for more crunchiness.
