Balsamic Roasted Asparagus With Fleur De Sel and Parmesan image

This is based on a recipe from Second Helpings from Union Square Cookbook. Much to the dismay of family and friends, I could never learn to appreciate asparagus. It always reminded me somehow of eating grass. But I tried this recipe and finally found a way to love asparagus. This is incredibly simple, but the combination is superb. Spending the extra to get true fleur de sel is really worth it for this dish.

Time 15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 lb thin asparagus spear
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt (fleur de sel is excellent here)
1/8 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
2 ounces parmigiano-reggiano cheese, grated

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
  • Wash the asparagus and break the tough ends off (no need to peel them in my opinion).
  • Place the asparagus in a roasting pan and drizzle on the oil and sprinkle with the pepper.
  • Shake the pan to coat the asparagus evenly with oil.
  • Place in the oven and roast until asparagus is softened but retains a little crunch, about 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Watch it carefully!
  • It's so sad to overcook it!
  • Remove from oven, arrange on a serving platter and top with the balsamic vinegar, fleur de sel and freshly grated parmesan (no kraft please! Use the real stuff).
  • Serve immediately.

This recipe is an abomination. I'm not sure what went wrong, but the asparagus was inedible and the balsamic glaze was repulsive.

This recipe is the worst. The asparagus was like rubber and the balsamic glaze was like glue.

This recipe is a disaster. I followed the instructions exactly and the asparagus turned out mushy and the balsamic glaze was watery.

This recipe was okay. The asparagus was a bit tough and the balsamic glaze was a bit too sweet for my taste.

Not bad, not bad at all. I'm not usually a big fan of asparagus, but this recipe was pretty good. The balsamic glaze was tasty.

I've made this recipe several times now and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The asparagus roasts up perfectly tender and the balsamic glaze is delicious. I like to add a little bit of red pepper flakes for a bit of spice.

This roasted asparagus recipe was a hit! The balsamic glaze added a tangy sweetness that perfectly complemented the asparagus. The fleur de sel and Parmesan cheese added the perfect finishing touch. I will definitely be making this again.
