If you were like me who wants to try asparagus, but afraid about how the recipe is going to turn out and not tried at all? I guess now is the time to try out for the people who are afraid about this veggie. There are few programs I watch at food network; shows of Giada’s, Rachel Ray, Sandra lee, and recently I started to watch Barefoot Contessa shows and that’s how I got this recipe. It was quite simple and easy to cook and less work for me. May be you also like to know how this recipe tastes? - It tastes like boiled peanuts. Here goes the recipe!!
Method
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Break off the tough ends of the asparagus and peel them. Brush the baking sheet with olive oil and place the asparagus.
- Drizzle 2 tbsp of olive oil, salt and ground pepper and coat them completely. Bake them for 15 – 20 minutes until the asparagus is tender and crisp.
- Take it out and sprinkle with 1 tbsp of Parmesan and return to the oven for another minute.
Serve with lemon wedges
Notes:
You can skip parmesan part, and you can try this recipe directly on the stove top.
It sure seems to be the season!!!! :) I just came over from soumya's blog where she has asparagus soup. :)
ReplyDeleteThis looks nice and easy. :)
I love asparagus.You have to choose the leaner and younger asparagus and just stir fry with little garlic pd and salt,yum!! Looks great Priya.
ReplyDeleteThis is the only way I make asparagus too..but with a little difference. I don't peel asparagus. Do we have to? I didn't know. :)
ReplyDeleteAlso, along with olive oil, salt and pepper, I add a tsp of minced garlic for added flavor. Try it next time, you will like it.
Then I spread them on a cast iron skillet, and bake it(broiling or stove top works great too.)
Priya,
ReplyDeleteI am a big fan of asparagus, even simply steamed with a little olive oil. Dr.Soumya Bhat has a cool recipe for asparagus soup on Home Spices.
Yours look delectable!
