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.

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:

  • Choose the right asparagus: Look for asparagus spears that are firm and have tight, closed tips. Avoid spears that are limp or have brown or yellow spots.
  • Trim the asparagus: Before cooking, trim the tough ends of the asparagus spears. Use a sharp knife to cut off the bottom inch or two of each spear.
  • Roast the asparagus at a high temperature: Roasting the asparagus at a high temperature will help to caramelize the sugars in the asparagus and give it a slightly smoky flavor. Aim for a temperature of 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Add some oil and seasonings: Before roasting, toss the asparagus spears with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Roast the asparagus for 10-15 minutes: The roasting time will vary depending on the thickness of the asparagus spears. Roast the asparagus for 10-15 minutes, or until it is tender but still slightly crisp.
  • Serve the asparagus immediately: Roasted asparagus is best served immediately. You can drizzle it with a little balsamic vinegar or lemon juice, or sprinkle it with Parmesan cheese.

Conclusion:

Roasted asparagus is a simple but delicious dish that can be enjoyed as a side dish or as a main course. It is a healthy and flavorful way to enjoy this spring vegetable. With just a few simple tips, you can make perfect roasted asparagus every time.
