Place the top oven rack in the center position and preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat® baking mat.
Spread the trimmed asparagus onto the prepared baking sheet and drizzle with the olive oil. Season with salt and black pepper to taste, and gently toss to combine. When asparagus is evenly coated, spread into a single layer without overcrowding.
Place baking sheet into the preheated oven and roast for 8-10 minutes, or until crisp-tender. Turn the asparagus once while roasting.
Remove from oven and serve immediately. Enjoy!
