Time 50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

cooking spray, preferably canola oil
1/3 cup mayonnaise
2 scallions, trimmed and finely chopped
2 tablespoons white miso
1 teaspoon chili-garlic sauce
1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1 bunch asparagus, trimmed
3/4 cup japanese-style panko breadcrumbs (see Notes)
1/4 cup sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450°F Line a baking sheet with foil; coat with cooking spray.
  • Combine mayonnaise, scallions, miso, chile-garlic sauce and oil in a small bowl.
  • Place asparagus in a shallow dish and toss with half the miso mixture (about 1/4 cup), making sure the asparagus is well coated.
  • Combine panko and sesame seeds in another shallow dish. Working with one spear at a time, roll in the panko mixture and place on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a bit of room between each spear. Coat the prepared spears with cooking spray.
  • Roast the asparagus until the coating is browned and crispy and the asparagus is tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve with the remaining miso mixture as a dipping sauce.
  • TIPS & NOTES.
  • Miso is fermented soybean paste made by inoculating a mixture of soybeans, salt and grains (usually barley or rice) with koji, a beneficial mold. Miso is undeniably salty, so a little goes a long way. White or sweet miso (Shiromiso), made with soy and rice, is yellow and milder in flavor; use for soup, salad dressings and sauces for fish or chicken. Look for it near tofu at well-stocked supermarkets.
  • Although we typically use whole-wheat panko-style breadcrumbs, for this recipe we recommend using white, Japanese-style panko breadcrumbs for the best texture and flavor. Look for them in the Asian-food section of most supermarkets or near other breadcrumbs.

ROASTED ASPARAGUS WITH CRUNCHY PARMESAN TOPPING



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.

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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right asparagus spears: Look for spears that are bright green, firm, and have tight tips. Avoid spears that are wilted, limp, or have brown spots.
  • Trim the asparagus spears: Cut off the tough ends of the asparagus spears, about 1-2 inches from the bottom.
  • Blanch the asparagus spears: Blanching helps to preserve the asparagus's bright green color and crisp texture. To blanch the asparagus, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the asparagus spears and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are tender-crisp. Immediately remove the asparagus spears from the boiling water and transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • Coat the asparagus spears in the panko breadcrumb mixture: In a shallow dish, combine the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Dredge the blanched asparagus spears in the panko breadcrumb mixture until they are evenly coated.
  • Bake the asparagus spears: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the coated asparagus spears on the prepared baking sheet and drizzle them with olive oil. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the asparagus spears are golden brown and crispy.

Conclusion:

Parmesan Panko Asparagus Spears are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The asparagus spears are crispy, flavorful, and packed with nutrients. This dish is also a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. If you are looking for a healthy and tasty side dish, give Parmesan Panko Asparagus Spears a try.
