Roasted asparagus with a zesty and umami-packed dressing is a scrumptious and vibrant dish that can elevate any meal. This simple yet elegant recipe combines the earthy and slightly bitter flavors of asparagus with a rich and savory homemade dressing made from a combination of white or red sweet and salty Japanese seasoning. By roasting the asparagus in a high-temperature oven, you can achieve perfectly tender and crisp spears that absorb the tantalizing flavors of the dressing. This delightful dish can be enjoyed as a side dish or as a main course with a sprinkle of sesame seeds or a splash of citrus for an extra layer of complexity.

ROASTED ASPARAGUS WITH MISO DRESSING
Miso has a rich taste, which is perfect for asparagus. This recipe has a nice Asian flavor and I like to serve this especially with teriyaki steak or salmon, and a crisp green salad.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
- Trim the woody ends from the asparagus, usually about 1 1/2 inches. Lightly peel the remaining stalks (not always necessary, but more of a personal preference). Spread the spears in a single layer on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with the salt and pepper, and roll to coat thoroughly.
- Roast the asparagus until lightly browned and tender, about 8 to 10 minutes, giving the pan a good shake about halfway through to turn the asparagus. Arrange the roasted asparagus on a serving platter and top with some Parmesan. Serve warm or at room temperature.

ROASTED ASPARAGUS SALAD WITH CITRUS DRESSING
This recipe was featured in an email from the www.lifescript.com website. "Rest roasted asparagus and tomatoes on a bed of watercress for a special touch. The fat-free dressing is a sweet-sour combination of fresh citrus juices, honey and Dijon mustard. Just as tasty warm or at room temperature, this salad works well when served as part of an easy buffet-style brunch."
