Time 20m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 lbs thick asparagus, tough ends trimmed (about 2 bunches, stalks about 1/2 inch thick)
salt
ground black pepper
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
1 lemon, cut into wedges

Steps:

  • In a 12-inch skillet, over medium, heat the oil.
  • Add the garlic and cook until crisp and golden brown, about 5 minutes. Careful not to burn. Burnt garlic tastes bitter. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the garlic to a paper towel-lined plate. Set aside. Add the butter to the skillet and set over medium-high. When the butter has melted, add half of the asparagus with the tips pointing in one direction, and the remaining spears pointing in the opposite direction. (This improves browning.) Sprinkle the asparagus with 1/4 teaspoons salt; using tongs, arrange the spears in an even layer. (They won't quite fit into a single layer.) Cover and cook until the spears are bright green and still crisp, about 5 minutes.
  • Season with salt and pepper, then transfer the asparagus to a serving plate. Sprinkle with the toasted garlic and Parmesan cheese. Serve with lemon wedges.

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 lb asparagus, fresh
10 clove garlic, minced
3 Tbsp olive oil
salt and pepper
1/4 c parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • 1. Heat oil and garlic in small saucepan over low heat until garlic is golden. Make sure you don't burn garlic!
  • 2. Remove woody ends from asparagus by gently bending until end snaps off.
  • 3. Place asparagus on baking pan and coat with oil and garlic. Push asparagus together and season with salt and pepper, then sprinkle with parmesan cheese.
  • 4. Roast at 400 degrees for 12 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, tender asparagus spears with tightly closed tips and no woody ends.
  • Trim the asparagus spears by snapping off the tough ends. You can also use a knife to cut off the ends.
  • Toss the asparagus spears with olive oil, salt, and pepper before roasting. This will help them to brown and caramelize in the oven.
  • Roast the asparagus spears at a high temperature (425 degrees Fahrenheit) for 10-12 minutes, or until they are tender-crisp.
  • Garnish the roasted asparagus spears with grated Parmesan cheese, chopped garlic, and lemon zest before serving.

The asparagus spears are roasted until tender-crisp and then tossed with a mixture of Parmesan cheese, garlic, and lemon zest.
