Roast Red Potatoes and Asparagus - Ww 4 Pts image

The easiest, most delicious roast red potatoes and asparagus. 4 Weight Watchers points, modified from a Real Simple recipe.

Provided by Sophaholic

Categories     Potato

Time 1h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 lb new potato (cut in half or quarters)
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 garlic clove, chopped
1 lb asparagus, trimmed

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400°F
  • Place the potatoes in a roasting pan. Drizzle with the oil. Season with 3/4 tsp salt and pepper, garlic and toss.
  • Roast for 30 minutes, shaking the pan once.
  • Add the asparagus to the pan with the potatoes, season with the remaining salt, and toss. Roast until the asparagus is tender, 12-15 minutes.
  • Recipe modifications:.
  • I mixed the oil, s&p, garlic (used two tsp Christopher Ranch chopped garlic, but not everyone loves garlic like me), potatoes and (and then asparagus, separately) in a bowl and put them in the pan. I prepare my asparagus by holding each stem at both ends, and bending it until it snaps. It snaps off at just the right length. I believe it took about 5-10 minutes longer to roast the asparagus than the recipe called for, so keep an eye on yours. After I added the asparagus, I scraped out the seasoning mix and drizzled it onto the potatoes and asparagus before returning the pan to the oven.

ASPARAGUS WITH BALSAMIC BUTTER (WEIGHT WATCHERS 0 POINTS)



Asparagus With Balsamic Butter (Weight Watchers 0 Points) image

From Weight Watchers' Five Ingredient Fifteen Minute cookbook (Spring 2008). The recipe calls for boiling the asparagus but really you should cook the asparagus by your preferred method. I prefer to saute my asparagus in a little olive oil and sea salt. Enjoy :)
