Roasted Asparagus With Buttered Almonds, Capers and Dill image

Cooking asparagus is one of the easiest kitchen tasks around. There is almost no preparation, the asparagus is roasted plain in the oven, and all that's left to do is fry some almonds and capers to spoon on top. This can be served as part of a festive spread of salads and seasonal dips. It also works well as a side for meat, fish or grain dishes.

Time 20m

Yield 6 side-dish servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/3 pounds/600 grams asparagus, woody ends trimmed
3 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and black pepper
2 tablespoons/30 grams unsalted butter
Scant 1/4 cup/20 grams sliced (flaked) almonds
3 tablespoons/30 grams baby capers, patted dry on paper towels (kitchen paper)
1/4 to 1/2 cup/5 to 10 grams roughly chopped fresh dill

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit/220 degrees Celsius. Line a baking sheet (baking tray) with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl or on a work surface, use your hands or tongs to toss the asparagus with 1 tablespoon oil, a generous pinch of salt and a good grind of pepper. Arrange asparagus in the paper-lined pan, spaced well apart, and roast, shaking the pan occasionally, until asparagus is soft and starting to brown in places, 8 to 12 minutes, depending on thickness. Remove from oven and set aside in the pan.
  • In a small or medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat until foamy. Add almonds and fry, stirring frequently, until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes (reduce heat as needed to prevent scorching). Pour almonds and butter evenly over asparagus.
  • Add remaining 2 tablespoons oil to the pan and heat over high heat. Once hot, add the capers and fry, stirring continuously, until they have opened up and become crisp, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Using a slotted spoon, remove capers from the oil and sprinkle over the asparagus. Add dill. Using tongs or two spoons, mix gently to combine, transfer to a large plate and serve warm.

Roasted Asparagus with Lemony Breadcrumbs image

Roasting asparagus at a high temperature concentrates its flavor and guarantees a tender-but not mushy-texture. To ensure crunchy crumbs, sprinkle them on just before serving.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Quick & Easy Recipes

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 pounds asparagus, trimmed
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup panko (Japanese breadcrumbs)
1/2 lemon, juiced and zested
Garnish: 1/2 lemon, cut into wedges

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Arrange asparagus on a rimmed baking sheet, and drizzle with oil. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Roast until tender, 18 to 20 minutes, then transfer to a platter.
  • Meanwhile, melt butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add panko, and cook, stirring frequently, until deep golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in lemon juice and zest. Season with salt.
  • Top asparagus with breadcrumbs, and garnish with lemon.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, tender asparagus. Look for spears that are bright green, firm, and have tightly closed tips.
  • Trim the asparagus spears before cooking. Cut off the tough, woody ends of the spears, about 1 inch from the bottom.
  • Toss the asparagus with olive oil, salt, and pepper before roasting. This will help the asparagus spears to brown and caramelize in the oven.
  • Roast the asparagus at a high temperature (425°F) for 10-15 minutes. This will help the asparagus to cook quickly and evenly.
  • Serve the asparagus immediately with lemon wedges and a sprinkle of fresh dill. You can also add a dollop of sour cream or yogurt for extra richness.

Conclusion:

Roasted asparagus with lemon and dill is a simple but delicious side dish that can be enjoyed all year round. It's a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables, and it's also a good source of vitamins and minerals. The lemon and dill add a bright, citrusy flavor to the asparagus, and the roasted vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized. This dish is sure to be a hit at your next dinner party or potluck.
