Provided by MsSally

Categories     Vegetable

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 lb asparagus (trimmed, and cut into 2-inch pieces)
1/2 cup Italian dressing
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 cup parmesan cheese (grated)

Steps:

  • Mix garlic powder into dressing.
  • Toss dressing with asparagus.
  • Roast asparagus in 400 degree oven for 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Sprinkle with parmesean and place under broiler for about 3 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose thick asparagus spears: Thicker spears will hold up better to roasting and won't become limp.
  • Trim the asparagus spears: Cut off the woody ends of the asparagus spears, about 1-2 inches from the bottom.
  • Toss the asparagus spears with olive oil, salt, and pepper: This will help to evenly coat the spears and ensure that they roast evenly.
  • Roast the asparagus spears at a high temperature: This will help to caramelize the spears and give them a slightly crispy texture.
  • Roast the asparagus spears until they are tender: You can test the tenderness of the spears by piercing them with a fork. They should be tender but still have a slight bite to them.
  • Serve the asparagus spears immediately: Roasted asparagus spears are best served immediately, while they are still hot and crispy.

Conclusion:

Tuscan-style roasted asparagus is a simple but delicious side dish that can be enjoyed as part of a healthy meal. The roasting process brings out the natural sweetness of the asparagus and gives it a slightly smoky flavor. This dish is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion.
