Preparando Espárrago para Asar
Enjuaga los tallos bajo agua fría y seca completamente: la humedad causa vaporización en lugar de asado. Recorta 1–2 pulgadas del extremo leñoso, o dobla cada tallo cerca de la base hasta que se rompa en el punto de ruptura natural. Arregla en una bandeja de rimada, rocía con aceite de oliva, condimenta con sal y pimienta, remueve para cubrir, luego extiende en una sola capa con espacio entre cada tallo. Una bandeja abarrotada atrapa vapor y mata dorado.

Asando Espárrago en el Horno
Precalienta horno a 425°F y déjalo llegar completamente a temperatura. Coloca tallos preparados en una bandeja en la rejilla central. Asa 8–14 minutos: los tallos delgados toman unos 8 minutos, los tallos gruesos 12–14 minutos. No se necesita voltear, pero sacude o rota la bandeja si notas dorado desigual. Listo cuando los puntos son dorados y ligeramente crujientes y los tallos muestran dorado ligero en algunos puntos. Si aún está pálido y flácido, añade 2–3 minutos más. Evita abrir la puerta del horno repetidamente.

Doneness and Serving
Asparagus is done when tender to a fork and tips show light browning. They should hold their shape with a slight bite — not limp. Pull the pan immediately and transfer to a plate; leaving spears on the hot sheet overcooks them. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over just before serving. Avoid these mistakes: wet spears before roasting, crowding the pan, and an underpreheated oven — all cause pale, steamed, soft results instead of caramelized ones.
