Roasted Asparagus

Apr 25, 2020 · Leave a Comment

Roasted Asparagus
Roasting asparagus is quick and easy, concentrates the flavors, and makes the bite tender. I go basic, with oil and salt, but feel free to use alternatives like lemon and oil and maybe a pinch of pepper. I use a high heat to roast but you can probably lower the heat a bit and roast a little longer.

I use a high heat sunflower oil, however if you lower the temperature a bit you can use olive oil or another oil that doesn't smoke (burn). The smoke point of oil (the burning point) is the temperature at which it stops heating up and starts smoking. The smoke point can range from a low of 325ยฐF to very high of 520ยฐF. You want to avoid heating oil beyond its smoke point because it starts to burn andย generates fumes and chemicals which are not healthy for your body.

Here's a comparison of some oils.

Oil Smoke Point (F) Smoke Point (C)
Avocado (cold press) 350-400 190-205
Avocado oil (refined) 520 271
Extra virgin olive oil 325-375 165-190
Olive oil (refined) 390-470 199-243
Safflower oil (cold press) 334 168
Safflower oil (high heat) 510 256
Sunflower oil (cold press) 338 198
Sunflower oil (high heat) 478 248
Peanut oil 450 230
Coconut oil (unrefined) 350 177
Coconut oil (refined) 450 232
Butter 350 175
Ghee (clarified butter) 450 230
