A delightful twist on roasted asparagus, enhanced with garlic butter and a touch of soy sauce for a savory finish.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and the perfect texture for your asparagus.
Arrange the asparagus spears in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Make sure the asparagus is evenly spaced to allow for proper roasting.
Sprinkle the asparagus with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Adjust the seasoning to your taste preference.
Roast the asparagus in the oven for 12-15 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized.
Keep an eye on the asparagus to prevent overcooking.
In a small skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Use medium heat to avoid burning the butter.
Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Stir constantly to prevent the garlic from burning.
Stir in the soy sauce and mix well.
Taste the sauce and adjust the soy sauce quantity if needed.
Drizzle the garlic butter sauce over the roasted asparagus and toss gently to coat.
Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
