ROASTED ASPARAGUS WITH SESAME SEEDS AND SESAME OIL
Categories Roast Asparagus Sesame Oil
Number Of Ingredients 0
Steps:
- Preheat the oven or toaster oven to 400°F. For roasting, I prefer medium rather than slender spears so they don't dwindle to nothing. Trim about an inch from the bottoms, then peel the bottom halves of the spears. Arrange the spears on a lightly oiled baking pan and drizzle with sesame oil. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Roast until tender and lightly browned, stirring occasionally, 10 to 15 minutes.
Tips:
- Choose thin to medium asparagus stalks for even cooking and a tender texture.
- If the asparagus stalks are thick, peel the lower third of the stalk to remove the tough outer layer.
- Toss the asparagus with a small amount of olive oil to help the sesame seeds stick.
- Use a high-heat roasting method to ensure the asparagus cooks evenly and develops a slight char.
- Sprinkle the asparagus with sesame seeds before roasting, and again after roasting for a sesame flavor in every bite.
- Serve the roasted sesame asparagus immediately or at room temperature.
Conclusion:
Roasted sesame asparagus is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that can be enjoyed as part of a healthy meal. It is a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables, and the sesame seeds add a delightful nutty flavor and crunch. This dish is perfect for busy weeknights or for special occasions, and it is sure to please everyone at the table.
