Store any leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days in an airtight container. You can eat it at room temperature, right out of the fridge, warm it up in a nonstick skillet on the stove, or pop it in the microwave for a few seconds.
This is not freezer-friendly. Frozen asparagus can get very mushy so I would not recommend this option.
Cooking time can vary depending on oven temperature and the size of the asparagus. The sweet spot I’ve found for roasting is 425˚F for 10-12 minutes.
