My husband is a "meat and potatoes" kind of guy, so the first time I made this meatless recipe, he was not thrilled. Once he tried it, he was hooked. Now he asks me to prepare it often. -Cindy Macha, Richmond, Texas

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.

1 teaspoon sea salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon lemon juice

Tips:

  • Choose the right asparagus: Look for asparagus spears that are bright green, firm, and have tight tips. Avoid spears that are limp, wilted, or have brown spots.
  • Roast the asparagus properly: To get the best flavor and texture, roast the asparagus at a high temperature (425°F) for a short amount of time (10-12 minutes). This will help to caramelize the asparagus and bring out its natural sweetness.
  • Use a variety of cheeses: The combination of Fontina, Parmesan, and ricotta cheeses creates a rich and flavorful lasagna. You can also experiment with other types of cheeses, such as mozzarella, cheddar, or Gruyère.
  • Don't overcook the lasagna: The lasagna is done cooking when the cheese is melted and bubbly and the noodles are tender. Overcooking the lasagna will make it dry and tough.
  • Let the lasagna rest before serving: This will allow the lasagna to set and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Roasted Asparagus Lasagna with Fontina Cheese is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. The roasted asparagus adds a unique flavor and texture to the lasagna, while the combination of cheeses creates a rich and creamy sauce. This lasagna is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
