Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425°F and set an oven rack in the middle position. Line a 13x18-inch baking sheet with heavy-duty aluminum foil.

Step 2

Spread the asparagus in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with the oil and sprinkle with the salt and pepper. Shake the pan to coat the asparagus evenly.

Step 3

Roast the asparagus until crisp-tender, about 6 to 8 minutes, depending on the thickness of the asparagus.
