ROASTED ASPARAGUS



Roasted Asparagus image

I got this recipe from "Simple Vegetarian Pleasures" by Jeanne Lemlin. I LOVE asparagus and am always on the lookout for new ways to make it. This is such an easy and elegant way to serve it. The asparagus gets a slightly nutty flavor after roasting, which makes it even more yummy.

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 lb asparagus
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (or 1/4 teaspoon regular table salt)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F.
  • Cut off the woody bottom part of the asparagus spears and discard.
  • With a vegetable peeler, peel off the skin on the bottom 2-3 inches of the spears (this keeps the asparagus from being all "stringy" and if you eat asparagus you know what I mean by that).
  • Place asparagus on foil-lined baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil.
  • Sprinkle with salt.
  • With your hands, roll the asparagus around until they are evenly coated with oil and salt.
  • Roast for 10-15 minutes, depending on the thickness of your stalks and how tender you like them.
  • They should be tender when pierced with the tip of a knife.
  • The tips of the spears will get very brown but watch them to prevent burning.
  • They are great plain, but sometimes I serve them with a light vinaigrette if we need something acidic to balance out our meal.

ROASTED ASPARAGUS WITH CRISPY LEEKS AND CAPERS



Roasted Asparagus With Crispy Leeks and Capers image

In this supremely springy recipe, thick asparagus stalks and thinly sliced leeks are glossed with olive oil and covered in salty capers. Everything is roasted in the same pan and emerges tender and golden-edged. Capers also make an appearance in the mustard sauce served alongside, which adds a tangy, mayonnaise-like richness. You can double the recipe, if you wish, though you may have to increase the roasting time by a few minutes to make up for a more-crowded pan. Serve this on its own as a first course, or as an accompaniment to roast chicken, braised meats or seared fish. Just don't use thin asparagus: It'll cook too quickly, before the leeks have a chance to turn golden. Stick with spears that are at least 1/2 inch in diameter.

Provided by Melissa Clark

Categories     vegetables, side dish

Time 20m

Yield 3 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound thick asparagus, ends trimmed
2 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 large leek, white and light green parts, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced
2 tablespoons drained capers
Lemon wedges, for serving
1/4 cup parsley, leaves and tender stems, torn
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons drained capers, finely chopped
1 small garlic clove, finely grated or minced
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. Put asparagus on a rimmed sheet pan and toss with 1 tablespoon oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt until well coated.
  • In a small bowl, stir together leeks, remaining 1 tablespoon oil, and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Sprinkle leeks on top of asparagus, then sprinkle with capers. Roast until asparagus are tender and golden brown, about 12 to 18 minutes.
  • While the asparagus stalks roast, make the mustard sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together mustard, capers and garlic. Slowly whisk in olive oil a few drops at a time to create a thick, emulsified dressing. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Once asparagus stalks are out of the oven, squeeze a lemon wedge over it and sprinkle parsley on top. Serve with mustard sauce and more lemon wedges on the side.

Tips:

  • Choose the right asparagus: Look for thick, firm spears with tightly closed tips. Avoid spears that are thin, limp, or have brown or yellow spots.
  • Prepare the asparagus properly: Wash the asparagus thoroughly and trim the woody ends. You can also peel the asparagus if desired, but this is not necessary.
  • Use high-quality olive oil: Extra virgin olive oil is the best choice for roasting asparagus. It has a rich flavor and aroma that will enhance the taste of the asparagus.
  • Season the asparagus well: Salt and pepper are essential seasonings for roasted asparagus. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Roast the asparagus at a high temperature: This will help to caramelize the asparagus and give it a slightly crispy exterior.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the asparagus will not roast evenly. Make sure to leave enough space between the spears so that they can circulate air.

Conclusion:

Roasted asparagus is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a side dish or a main course. It is a healthy and nutritious choice that is packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. With its simple preparation and delicious flavor, roasted asparagus is a great option for any meal.
