Simple Roasted Asparagus image

I've always enjoyed steamed or boiled asparagus - Until I discovered roasted asparagus. I got it from food newtork. It was intended to be a side dish but my family ate most of it while we were waiting for the rest of the meal to finish cooking. In learned some time ago (food Network again) that lage stalks, peeled, offer a much meatier, flavorful vegetable than the skinny ones.
