Roasted Asparagus With Crunchy Parmesan Topping image

This comforting gratin is ready in less than 30 minutes. Feel free to use the thin asparagus, as noted in the recipe, or use thick asparagus, trimmed and peeled, as in the video. Or, just use the Parmesan breadcrumb topping on another favorite vegetable. It's a welcome and perfectly crisp addition to just about any meat or vegetable.

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     easy, quick, weekday, side dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 thick slice good bread
1 small chunk Parmigiano-Reggiano, about 1 ounce
1 1/2 pounds thin asparagus, more or less
3 tablespoons butter, extra virgin olive oil, or a combination
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 500 degrees; while it heats, put bread in, and check frequently until it is lightly toasted and dry. Coarsely grind or grate bread and cheese together (a small food processor is best), and keep crumbs larger than commercial bread crumbs.
  • Rinse asparagus, and break off woody bottoms. Lay stalks in a baking dish that will hold them in two or three layers. Toss with bits of butter or the oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and place in oven.
  • Roast 5 minutes, then shake dish to redistribute butter or oil. Roast 5 minutes more, then test for doneness by piercing a spear with point of a sharp knife; it should slide in but meet a little resistance. (Up to this point, the recipe can be made as much as two hours before serving; just leave asparagus at room temperature).
  • Turn on broiler and place rack as close as possible to heating element. Top asparagus with cheese-crumb mixture and run under broiler to brown, a minute or two. Serve hot or at room temperature.

PAN-SEARED ASPARAGUS WITH CRISPY GARLIC



Pan-Seared Asparagus With Crispy Garlic image

Before asparagus got moved to its own botanical family, Asparagaceae, in the early 2000s, it was part of the lily family along with onions, chives, shallots and garlic. It makes sense then, that asparagus and garlic make such a good duo. When cooked with care, both can be mild and sweet (or pungent and bitter when cooked carelessly). To highlight the best of both ingredients, gently fry garlic into chips for a crispy topping, then use the lightly infused oil to sauté the asparagus. Both thin and chubby spears work, as would nearly any other vegetable you like with garlic: broccoli, kale, snap peas, fennel and more.

Provided by Ali Slagle

Categories     vegetables, side dish

Time 10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 bunch asparagus (about 1 pound), ends snapped or trimmed

Steps:

  • Place a paper towel-lined plate next to the stove. In a medium or large skillet, combine the garlic and olive oil over medium-low heat. Cook, shaking the skillet often, until the garlic is very light golden, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat, tilt it, then use a slotted spoon to transfer the garlic to the towel-lined plate, leaving the remaining oil in the skillet. Season the crispy garlic with salt.
  • Return the skillet to medium-high heat. Add the asparagus, season with salt and pepper, and cook, shaking often, until bright green, crisp-tender and browned in spots, 4 to 5 minutes. Slide onto a platter, including any oil in the skillet. Top with the garlic chips and season again with salt and pepper.

Tips for Perfect Baked Asparagus with Cheesy Onion Topping:

  • Choose fresh, vibrant asparagus spears with tightly closed tips. Avoid spears that are limp or have woody ends.
  • Trim the asparagus spears by snapping off the tough ends. You can also use a knife to cut off the bottom inch or two.
  • To ensure even cooking, try to select asparagus spears that are of uniform thickness.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking dish. Leave some space between the asparagus spears so they can cook evenly.
  • For a crispier topping, use a combination of grated Parmesan and mozzarella cheeses.
  • If you prefer a milder onion flavor, use a sweet onion variety such as Vidalia or Walla Walla.
  • For a more intense onion flavor, use a sharper variety such as yellow or white onion.
  • Serve the baked asparagus immediately after cooking. This dish is best enjoyed fresh and hot.
