THE BEST ROASTED ASPARAGUS



The Best Roasted Asparagus image

The perfect roasted asparagus should be lightly browned and tender, yet bright green and crisp. Roasting the spears at a high temperature helps achieve this. We also browned grated Parmesan to make a nutty, crumbly frico topping. Wait until ready to serve to top the vegetables so the crisped cheese stays crunchy.

Categories     side-dish

Time 20m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pound thin asparagus, trimmed
3 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (about 1 1/2 ounces)
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
Juice of 1/4 lemon

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with a wire rack.
  • Put the asparagus, olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl. Toss to coat evenly. Spread the asparagus in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 10 to 12 minutes, until lightly browned and tender, but still bright green.
  • Meanwhile, spread the Parmesan evenly in the bottom of a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook undisturbed until the cheese melts, sticks together and turns golden brown, about 2 minutes, then flip with a rubber spatula and cook until golden on the second side, about 2 minutes more. Transfer the frico to a wire rack-lined baking sheet to cool completely, about 2 minutes. Break the frico into small crumbles and put in a small bowl. Add the lemon zest and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper and toss to combine.
  • Transfer the roasted asparagus to a serving platter and squeeze the fresh lemon juice over the top. Top with the crumbled frico mixture.

Tips and Conclusion

To achieve perfectly roasted asparagus, preheat the oven to the right temperature. Different recipes suggest temperatures ranging from 400°F to 450°F. Opt for thicker asparagus if you prefer a tender-crisp texture. Prioritize thinner asparagus for a more tender bite. Select asparagus spears that are vibrant in color and have tightly closed tips. Avoid spears with blemishes, discoloration, or signs of wilting. To preserve asparagus' nutritional value and flavor, store it properly in the refrigerator with a damp paper towel wrapped around the base. When preparing asparagus for roasting, start by trimming the woody ends. To do this, hold each spear near the base and gently snap it in half. The fibrous end will naturally break where it becomes tender. Alternatively, use a sharp knife to cut off about 1-2 inches from the bottom of each spear. Drizzle the asparagus with olive oil, salt, and pepper to enhance its flavor. You can also add other seasonings and herbs of your choice. Mix everything well to ensure even coating. Arrange the asparagus spears in a single layer on a baking sheet or roasting pan. Avoid overcrowding, as it can prevent even cooking. Keep a close eye on the asparagus while roasting to prevent overcooking. Depending on the thickness of the asparagus and the desired level of doneness, the roasting time may vary. Generally, it takes around 10-15 minutes at a high temperature of 400°F-450°F. Once the asparagus is tender when pierced with a fork and has slight brown or charred spots, it's ready to be enjoyed. Serve roasted asparagus as a standalone side dish or incorporate it into your favorite salads, pasta dishes, and grain bowls. Its vibrant color and delicate flavor make it a versatile ingredient that can elevate any meal.

In conclusion, roasting asparagus is an easy and versatile cooking method that brings out its natural sweetness and flavor. By following these tips and experimenting with different seasonings, you can create delicious and nutritious roasted asparagus dishes that will impress your friends and family. Enjoy the delightful simplicity of this culinary gem, and indulge in its goodness as part of a healthy and balanced diet.
