Categories     Vegetable

Time 20m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 lbs thick asparagus, tough ends trimmed (about 2 bunches, stalks about 1/2 inch thick)
salt
ground black pepper
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
1 lemon, cut into wedges

Steps:

  • In a 12-inch skillet, over medium, heat the oil.
  • Add the garlic and cook until crisp and golden brown, about 5 minutes. Careful not to burn. Burnt garlic tastes bitter. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the garlic to a paper towel-lined plate. Set aside. Add the butter to the skillet and set over medium-high. When the butter has melted, add half of the asparagus with the tips pointing in one direction, and the remaining spears pointing in the opposite direction. (This improves browning.) Sprinkle the asparagus with 1/4 teaspoons salt; using tongs, arrange the spears in an even layer. (They won't quite fit into a single layer.) Cover and cook until the spears are bright green and still crisp, about 5 minutes.
  • Season with salt and pepper, then transfer the asparagus to a serving plate. Sprinkle with the toasted garlic and Parmesan cheese. Serve with lemon wedges.

CRISPY GARLIC PARMESAN ASPARAGUS PILLOWS



Crispy Garlic Parmesan Asparagus Pillows image

We love creative ways to prepare vegetables and these asparagus pillows are really delicious. The asparagus roasted in the phyllo dough is such a treat. Especially with the freshly grated Parmesan for saltiness and garlic powder for extra flavor. These will definitely be a highlight on your table and are a great way to get kiddos...

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 bunch asparagus, fresh
1 pkg phyllo dough (defrosted)
1-2 c fresh grated Parmesan cheese
garlic powder, to taste
spray butter (you can melt butter and brush the dough but I found the spray butter was much easier and quicker)

Steps:

  • 1. You want to work as quickly as possible to keep the dough from drying out so you don't need to do the whole moist towel cover up thing.
  • 2. Rinse asparagus and dry well.
  • 3. Cut the bottom ends off and discard. If you have thick asparagus you can use a potato peeler and peel about 1/2 way up the stalk so it's not fibrous when eating.
  • 4. Lay the phyllo dough flat on your workspace, spray completely with butter spray.
  • 5. Lay 3 or 4 pieces of asparagus (depending on their size) at the far right of the dough with 1/3 the stalk over the top edge.
  • 6. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
  • 7. Then fold the bottom of the 2 or 3 pieces of dough (I like 2 and my husband likes 3 so it's more bready less vegetable flavor) up over the asparagus like tucking into bed.
  • 8. Then, from right to left, roll it all the way to make the bundle.
  • 9. Spray outside totally with butter spray and lay on parchment lined baking tray and repeat until you use all the dough and asparagus. It usually works out just about right but towards the middle, I decide if I need to increase the asparagus to dough ratios so I use the whole thing because they heat up nicely the next day too.
  • 10. Sprinkle all with garlic powder (not garlic salt cause the cheese and butter make it salty enough).
  • 11. Then sprinkle cheese on top of the pastries.
  • 12. Bake at 350 until golden brown about 15-20 minutes.

ROASTED PARMESAN AND GARLIC ASPARAGUS



Roasted Parmesan and Garlic Asparagus image

My personal favorite veggie. Even the kids will eat it because of the cheese ;) I even like them cold as a quick snack.

Provided by Sherry Tinnell

Categories     Vegetables

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 lb asparagus, fresh
10 clove garlic, minced
3 Tbsp olive oil
salt and pepper
1/4 c parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • 1. Heat oil and garlic in small saucepan over low heat until garlic is golden. Make sure you don't burn garlic!
  • 2. Remove woody ends from asparagus by gently bending until end snaps off.
  • 3. Place asparagus on baking pan and coat with oil and garlic. Push asparagus together and season with salt and pepper, then sprinkle with parmesan cheese.
  • 4. Roast at 400 degrees for 12 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose thick asparagus spears: Thicker spears will hold up better to roasting and grilling, and they will have a more robust flavor.
  • Trim the asparagus spears: Cut off the woody ends of the asparagus spears, about 1 inch from the bottom.
  • Toss the asparagus with oil and seasonings: This will help the asparagus to roast or grill evenly and prevent it from sticking to the pan.
  • Roast or grill the asparagus until tender: The asparagus should be tender when pierced with a fork, but still slightly firm.
  • Serve the asparagus immediately: Asparagus is best served hot or warm. It can be drizzled with melted butter, olive oil, or a balsamic glaze.

Conclusion:

Parmesan garlic asparagus is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that can be enjoyed as part of a healthy meal. It is a good source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Asparagus is also a low-calorie food that is high in fiber. This recipe is a great way to enjoy the health benefits of asparagus while also enjoying its delicious flavor.
