Provided by Cookie and Kate

Categories     Side Dish

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 large bunch (about 1 pound) fresh asparagus
1 to 2 teaspoons olive oil
Salt, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Zest and juice of 1/2 medium lemon, preferably organic
Lemon wedges, from the remaining 1/2 lemon
Sprinkle of finely grated Parmesan cheese
Small handful of fresh mint or parsley, finely chopped
Light sprinkle of red pepper flakes
Pat or two of butter
Light drizzle of balsamic reduction or thick balsamic vinegar
Toasted sliced almonds

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Snap off the woody ends of the asparagus (if you sharply bend the asparagus near the base, it will snap in the right place). Discard the ends.
  • Place the asparagus on the sheet and drizzle with 1 to 2 teaspoons olive oil, just enough to lightly coat the asparagus. Sprinkle salt and pepper over the asparagus, and toss until the spears are lightly coated in oil. Arrange the spears in a single layer on the pan.
  • Bake just until the base of the asparagus is easily pierced through by a fork. Very thin asparagus, like the kind shown here, will take as little as 9 to 12 minutes, whereas thicker asparagus will need 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Transfer the roasted asparagus to a serving platter and season however you'd like. You could keep it simple with a squeeze of lemon juice, or a sprinkle of Parmesan, or add a pat of butter or drizzle of balsamic vinegar.
  • Roasted asparagus is best served when it's fresh out of the oven, but it will keep at room temperature for up to 1 hour or up to 4 days in the refrigerator (gently reheat before serving).

ROASTED ASPARAGUS WITH HARD-COOKED EGGS AND SESAME SALT



Roasted Asparagus With Hard-Cooked Eggs and Sesame Salt image

Provided by Melissa Clark

Categories     dinner, easy, weekday, appetizer

Time 40m

Yield 3 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 large eggs
1 1/2 pounds asparagus, ends trimmed
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
Salt
black pepper
3/4 teaspoon black sesame seeds
3/4 teaspoon white sesame seeds
1 teaspoon coarse sea salt
Chopped chives, for garnish

Steps:

  • Place eggs in a heavy pot. Cover with 4 cups cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat; cover, immediately reduce to a bare simmer, and cook eggs 9 minutes. Crack the shells and put in a bowl of ice water for 10 minutes, then drain.
  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. Spread asparagus on a large baking sheet. Dot with 2 tablespoons butter; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast, turning occasionally, until crisp-tender, about 10 minutes, and transfer to a platter.

  • Peel the eggs and finely chop. Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter in the skillet and cook until it starts to smell nutty, about 2 minutes. Turn off the heat and stir in the chopped eggs.

Tips:

  • Choose thick asparagus spears. Thicker spears will hold up better to roasting and won't become mushy.
  • Trim the asparagus spears. Cut off the tough, woody ends of the asparagus spears.
  • Roast the asparagus spears at a high temperature. This will help to caramelize the asparagus and give it a slightly smoky flavor.
  • Add some shallots to the roasting pan. Shallots will add a sweet and savory flavor to the asparagus.
  • Drizzle the asparagus spears with olive oil. Olive oil will help to prevent the asparagus spears from sticking to the roasting pan.
  • Season the asparagus spears with salt and pepper. Salt and pepper will help to enhance the flavor of the asparagus.
  • Roast the asparagus spears for 10-12 minutes, or until they are tender. Check the asparagus spears frequently to make sure that they don't overcook.
  • Serve the roasted asparagus spears immediately. Roasted asparagus spears can be served as a side dish or as a main course.

Conclusion:

Roasted shallot and sesame asparagus is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The asparagus is roasted until tender and caramelized, and the shallots and sesame seeds add a sweet and savory flavor. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
