Roasted White Asparagus with Poached Egg and Parsley Butter

This is by far the easiest—and tastiest—way of preparing asparagus: just slide them into the oven and let the heat work its magic and intensify their flavor. I like to serve them the traditional way with melted butter and a poached egg. The prospect of poaching an egg might put some people off, but this is a fail-safe method! Serve with skin-on boiled or steamed baby potatoes.
