THE BEST ROASTED ASPARAGUS
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.

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.

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.

ROASTED TOFU, ASPARAGUS AND RADISHES - WW
This came from "Simply Delicious - Flexpoints Cookbook" from Weight Watchers. Out of all the recipes in there, this is the one that I want to try the most. At time of posting, I have not tried this. But I plan on doing so soon. I can't find tofu here in town so it will have to wait until I can get into the city to get some. The book says this is 2 points per serving. The numbers as presented here come up as closer to 3 points (2.9) but that is because it isn't counting on reduced fat tofu. Plus it isn't counting the balsamic vinegar.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F Spray a large, nonstick roasting pan with nonstick spray.
- Combine the vinegar, oil, garlic, rosemary, lemon zest, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add the tofu, asparagus, radishes and onion; toss gently to coat.
- **Note: As radishes are never all the same size, I would probably halve the larger ones.
- Turn the mixture into the roasting pan and spread into one layer. Roast until the vegetables are tender and lightly browned, turning once, 20-25 minutes.
- I like my roasted veggies to have that really lovely dark brown colour to them, so I would probably lean towards the end of the cooking time.
