I have obviously been missing out most of my life. Soy sauce and asparagus are made for each other.
Seriously, made for each other. Asparagus has been my jam lately. It is so quick and easy which makes this perfect for a weeknight side dish. In fifteen minutes, you can go from this stalk of raw asparagus to a yummy side dish.
Serve this quick and easy asparagus with my Best Homemade Sloppy Joes for a simple weeknight dinner.

But wait, there’s more… (In my best infomercial voice)
Six ingredients, yep that’s it, six ingredients!
Fresh asparagus, sesame oil, soy sauce, black pepper, garlic, and sesame seeds are all that you will need.
That’s It!
Well, and a baking pan and parchment paper too (parchment paper is totally optional, but makes cleanup even easier).
First, trim the asparagus stalks. Then spread them out on a parchment lined baking pan.
Now mix up the flavor packed sauce and pour over the asparagus.
Pop the baking pan in the oven at 400 F degrees for approximately eight minutes or until desired tenderness.
Boom!
All done!
That was super easy right?
This quick and easy roasted asparagus recipe makes a perfect side dish for almost anything.
Additionally, this is awesome to serve on holidays or special occasions along with my favorite Mushroom and Potato Au Gratin recipe.
