- To reheat, briefly broil the asparagus on a baking sheet until warmed through, watching carefully to prevent burning.
- Serve your roasted asparagus alongside grilled salmon or chicken for a complete and flavorful meal.
- For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the asparagus before roasting for a subtle kick.
