Roasted Aspargus With Scallions and Sun-Dried Tomatoes image

From a local source. Be sure the asparagus spears are of uniform size so that they roast evenly. I used this recipe: Recipe #194248 for making my own homemade sun-dried tomatoes. Saved $$!

Time 22m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 lbs asparagus, bottoms trimmed
1 bunch scallion, ends trimmed and sliced into 1-inch pieces
2 tablespoons finely chopped sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, plus
1 -2 tablespoon sun-dried tomato olive oil (from the jar or read intro^^)
salt, to taste
cracked black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 450 degrees.
  • In a large bowl, combine the asparagus, scallions, and the oil from the sun-dried tomatoes. Toss to coat well. (Time willing, I try to combine the ingredients at least an hour in advance to allow the mixture to marinate.).
  • Transfer the asparagus to a baking sheet and arrange in single layer.
  • Season with salt and pepper.
  • Roast 7 minutes. Stir the mixture and roast until tender and slightly browned, approximately 5 minutes longer.
  • Stir in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes.
  • Serve immediately or at room temperature.
