Roast asparagus at 400°F for about 10–15 minutes, depending on how thick the spears are and how crisp-tender you like them.

Quick Scoop

  • Thin spears: 8–11 minutes at 400°F, until lightly browned and just tender.
  • Medium spears: 12–15 minutes at 400°F, which is the most common range people use at home.
  • Thick spears: 16–20 minutes at 400°F if you like them softer; start checking around 15–16 minutes so they don’t shrivel.
  • Many cooks find “around 10 minutes at high heat” gives ideal crisp‑tender asparagus, so checking at the 8–10 minute mark is smart.

A simple method: toss trimmed asparagus with olive oil, salt, and pepper, spread in a single layer on a hot pan, and roast at 400°F, checking a spear with a fork starting around 8–10 minutes so you can catch your perfect doneness.
