Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 large bunch (about 1 pound) fresh asparagus
1 to 2 teaspoons olive oil
Salt, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Zest and juice of 1/2 medium lemon, preferably organic
Lemon wedges, from the remaining 1/2 lemon
Sprinkle of finely grated Parmesan cheese
Small handful of fresh mint or parsley, finely chopped
Light sprinkle of red pepper flakes
Pat or two of butter
Light drizzle of balsamic reduction or thick balsamic vinegar
Toasted sliced almonds

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Snap off the woody ends of the asparagus (if you sharply bend the asparagus near the base, it will snap in the right place). Discard the ends.
  • Place the asparagus on the sheet and drizzle with 1 to 2 teaspoons olive oil, just enough to lightly coat the asparagus. Sprinkle salt and pepper over the asparagus, and toss until the spears are lightly coated in oil. Arrange the spears in a single layer on the pan.
  • Bake just until the base of the asparagus is easily pierced through by a fork. Very thin asparagus, like the kind shown here, will take as little as 9 to 12 minutes, whereas thicker asparagus will need 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Transfer the roasted asparagus to a serving platter and season however you'd like. You could keep it simple with a squeeze of lemon juice, or a sprinkle of Parmesan, or add a pat of butter or drizzle of balsamic vinegar.
  • Roasted asparagus is best served when it's fresh out of the oven, but it will keep at room temperature for up to 1 hour or up to 4 days in the refrigerator (gently reheat before serving).

Roasted Asparagus (The Best I've Ever Tried!) image

I got this from a "Real Simple" magazine long ago. From then on, I always cook asparagus like this. It is "real simple" and asparagus are kept crispy and green (NOT raw), exactly the way we like to eat them.

BEST EVER ROASTED ASPARAGUS WITH MUSHROOMS



Best Ever Roasted Asparagus with Mushrooms image

This is an easy dish I literally threw together for dinner one night. It's deliciously simple! I have indicated this recipe serves 2-4 people. That is because DH and I really enjoy asparagus and prefer large portions of the vegetable. Please feel free to decrease your portion size to serve more people if desired.

PERFECTLY COOKED ROASTED ASPARAGUS



Perfectly Cooked Roasted Asparagus image

This is the quickest, easiest side dish I've ever made! It's so good and is cooked PERFECTLY! Depending on what I'm serving it with, I might add Parmesan, fresh-squeezed lemon juice, and/or balsamic vinegar over top just before serving. It's perfect as is, though. I imagine some sort of Dijon sauce would be delightful as well, though I have yet to try that. The amount of olive oil in my list of ingredients is approximate (I just eyeball the amount).

Time 15m

Yield 4 , 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 bunch asparagus, washed
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced (or garlic powder, for even quick prep)
kosher salt
red pepper flakes
fresh cracked black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • In the meantime, "trim" each spear by grasping both ends and gently bending until it snaps in half. (You might lose more of the stalk with the thicker ones, but you won't lose the tender part anyway so it's OK.).
  • Spread the tender top halves in a single layer on a foil-lined baking sheet; discard the woody stalks.
  • Drizzle a bit of olive oil over top (a tablespoon or two) and add garlic.
  • Season lightly with salt and red pepper flakes; season liberally with the black pepper.
  • Toss to coat.
  • Cook in the preheated over for 10-15 minutes or until asparagus is bright green.

THE BEST ROASTED ASPARAGUS



The Best Roasted Asparagus image

The perfect roasted asparagus should be lightly browned and tender, yet bright green and crisp. Roasting the spears at a high temperature helps achieve this. We also browned grated Parmesan to make a nutty, crumbly frico topping. Wait until ready to serve to top the vegetables so the crisped cheese stays crunchy.

Categories     side-dish

Time 20m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pound thin asparagus, trimmed
3 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (about 1 1/2 ounces)
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
Juice of 1/4 lemon

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with a wire rack.
  • Put the asparagus, olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl. Toss to coat evenly. Spread the asparagus in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 10 to 12 minutes, until lightly browned and tender, but still bright green.
  • Meanwhile, spread the Parmesan evenly in the bottom of a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook undisturbed until the cheese melts, sticks together and turns golden brown, about 2 minutes, then flip with a rubber spatula and cook until golden on the second side, about 2 minutes more. Transfer the frico to a wire rack-lined baking sheet to cool completely, about 2 minutes. Break the frico into small crumbles and put in a small bowl. Add the lemon zest and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper and toss to combine.
  • Transfer the roasted asparagus to a serving platter and squeeze the fresh lemon juice over the top. Top with the crumbled frico mixture.

ROASTED ASPARAGUS



Roasted Asparagus image

I got this recipe from "Simple Vegetarian Pleasures" by Jeanne Lemlin. I LOVE asparagus and am always on the lookout for new ways to make it. This is such an easy and elegant way to serve it. The asparagus gets a slightly nutty flavor after roasting, which makes it even more yummy.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 lb asparagus
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (or 1/4 teaspoon regular table salt)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F.
  • Cut off the woody bottom part of the asparagus spears and discard.
  • With a vegetable peeler, peel off the skin on the bottom 2-3 inches of the spears (this keeps the asparagus from being all "stringy" and if you eat asparagus you know what I mean by that).
  • Place asparagus on foil-lined baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil.
  • Sprinkle with salt.
  • With your hands, roll the asparagus around until they are evenly coated with oil and salt.
  • Roast for 10-15 minutes, depending on the thickness of your stalks and how tender you like them.
  • They should be tender when pierced with the tip of a knife.
  • The tips of the spears will get very brown but watch them to prevent burning.
  • They are great plain, but sometimes I serve them with a light vinaigrette if we need something acidic to balance out our meal.
