Best 12 Baked Asparagus And Goat Cheese Recipes

facebook share image   twitter share image   pinterest share image   E-Mail share image

Asparagus and goat cheese are a classic combination, and this baked dish is a simple but elegant way to enjoy them. The asparagus is roasted until tender and slightly charred, and the goat cheese melts and bubbles, creating a creamy and flavorful sauce. This dish is perfect for a light lunch or dinner, and it can also be served as an appetizer or side dish. You can find three variations of this popular dish here: a classic baked asparagus with goat cheese, a version with sun-dried tomatoes and pine nuts for an extra burst of flavor, and a vegetarian take on the dish using tofu instead of goat cheese. Whichever variation you choose, you're in for a treat!

Nothing is as scrumptious as fresh asparagus nor roasted veggies. Full article by Cat Rooney/Epoch Times at http://www.theepochtimes.com/n3/99474-roasted-fresh-asparagus-beets-and-goat-cheese-medley/

Provided by CatsCooking

Categories     Vegetable

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb asparagus
2 -3 small beets
1 tablespoon virgin oil
1 pinch salt & freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon fresh thyme, left on the stems (optional)
2 ounces goat cheese, with honey or 2 ounces seasoned goat cheese
2 tablespoons dried fruit (raisins or cranberries, apricots cut to small pieces)
2 tablespoons slivered almonds
parchment paper, to cover baking sheet

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425º F. Wash asparagus and cut off the tougher bottom parts of the stems. (Don't snap the ends as you lose too much of the asparagus). If sizes vary dramatically, slice the largest asparagus stems lengthwise. The asparagus can be chopped uniformly into halves or thirds or left whole.
  • Wash and peel beets and slice into small cubes. Place asparagus and beets in a large bowl. Add olive oil, seasoning, and thyme and toss until completely coated.Cover baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange asparagus and beets on the sheet so they are spread out and not overlapping. Use a spatula to gather any remaining oil and seasonings to drizzle over the arranged vegetables. Bake for 15-20 minutes until beets are tender then remove them from the oven. Pile the asparagus and beets into the middle of the baking pan. Add cheese, fruit, and almonds. Bake another 10 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh asparagus. Look for spears that are bright green, firm, and have tightly closed tips. Avoid spears that are wilted, limp, or have yellow or brown spots.
  • Trim the asparagus. Snap off the tough woody ends of the asparagus spears. You can also use a knife to cut them off.
  • Roast the asparagus at a high temperature. This will help to caramelize the asparagus and give it a slightly smoky flavor.
  • Use a variety of seasonings. Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all classic seasonings for roasted asparagus. You can also try adding other herbs and spices, such as rosemary, thyme, or chili powder.
  • Serve the asparagus immediately. Roasted asparagus is best when served hot and fresh. You can garnish it with a squeeze of lemon juice, a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese, or a drizzle of balsamic vinegar.

Conclusion:

Roasted asparagus and goat cheese is a simple yet elegant dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you serve it as an appetizer, a side dish, or a main course, roasted asparagus and goat cheese is sure to impress your guests.
