SIMPLE ROASTED ASPARAGUS WITH BALSAMIC AND PARMESAN



Simple Roasted Asparagus with Balsamic and Parmesan image

Adapted from the Canal House Cooks Every Day cookbook. Asparagus: The Canal House ladies, Christopher Hirsheimer and Melissa Hamilton, suggest purchasing fat asparagus and peeling them. Do this if you are able to or simply buy what is available. I never peel - lazy! - but do so if you wish. Balsamic: You can buy aged balsamic vinegar that's syrupy or you can simmer balsamic vinegar until it's reduced by half its volume. Simply simmer 1/4 cup vinegar in a small saucepan until it is thick and syrupy. Keep a close watch the entire time, and transfer the balsamic to a small bowl as soon as it starts to thicken because it will continue to reduce as it sits. This will give you 1 to 2 tablespoons of syrupy balsamic vinegar.

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 lb. asparagus spears, see notes above
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt, preferably flaky sea salt - I've been using Maldon for this one
freshly cracked black pepper to taste
Parmigiano Reggiano
1 tablespoon syrupy balsamic vinegar, such as this, or see notes above

Steps:

  • Heat your oven to 425ºF, convection roast if you have it.
  • To prepare the asparagus, snap off the end of each spear. Discard or compost the end. Cut the spears in half. Transfer to a 9×13-inch baking dish or a sheet pan or something similar.
  • Drizzle with the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss with your hands to ensure each spear is nicely coated and seasoned. Transfer pan to the oven for 20-25 minutes or until the tips of the asparagus are just lightly beginning to char.
  • Remove the pan from the oven and transfer to a serving platter. Taste one spear. If it tastes under-seasoned, sprinkle the entire dish with more salt to taste. Using a peeler - this is my favorite - shave parmesan over top to taste.
  • Finish the dish by drizzling the syrupy balsamic over top.

THE BEST GRILLED ASPARAGUS



The Best Grilled Asparagus image

We found that the best way to grill asparagus is to lay it right on the grill grates at an angle--no foil packet or grilling basket necessary. We jazzed ours up with tangy, creamy feta and fresh mint. To get a good char, be sure to use medium-sized asparagus -- no pencil-thin stalks here!

Categories     side-dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 bunch medium asparagus (about 3/4 pound)
Juice of 1 lemon (about 1/4 cup)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 clove garlic, finely grated
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese (about 1 ounce)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint leaves

Steps:

  • Prepare a grill for medium heat. Chop the tough, woody ends off the asparagus (about 1 inch) and peel another inch of the stalks.
  • Whisk the lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper together in a large bowl. Add the asparagus and toss until well coated.
  • Put the asparagus on the grill at an angle so the stalks don't fall through the grates. Grill, flipping halfway through cooking, until the asparagus begin to char, the pointy ends start to crisp and the stalks are just tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove to a platter and sprinkle with the feta and mint.
