ROASTED ASPARAGUS WITH CHERRY TOMATOES AND GARLIC



Roasted Asparagus with Cherry Tomatoes and Garlic image

This tasty roasted asparagus recipe is courtesy of chef Emeril Lagasse. It's a delicious spring side dish.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dinner Recipes     Dinner Side Dishes

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 pounds pencil asparagus, ends trimmed
2 cups cherry tomatoes
12 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Place asparagus, tomatoes, and garlic in a large bowl; drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to combine. Transfer to a large rimmed baking sheet and drizzle with lemon juice.
  • Transfer to oven and roast until asparagus are tender and tomatoes begin to caramelize, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve hot or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, tender asparagus spears for the best flavor and texture. If the asparagus is thick, peel the bottom inch or two before slicing.
  • To prevent the asparagus from becoming too soft, cook it briefly until it is just tender-crisp. You can do this by blanching it in boiling water for a few minutes or roasting it in the oven at a high temperature.
  • If you are using cherry tomatoes, choose ones that are ripe and sweet. You can also use other types of tomatoes, such as grape tomatoes or Roma tomatoes.
  • The balsamic vinegar adds a tangy, sweet flavor to the salad. If you don't have balsamic vinegar, you can substitute another type of vinegar, such as red wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar.
  • The parmesan cheese adds a salty, nutty flavor to the salad. If you don't have parmesan cheese, you can substitute another type of hard cheese, such as cheddar cheese or feta cheese.
  • To make the salad more flavorful, add some fresh herbs, such as basil, oregano, or thyme.
  • Serve the salad immediately after it is made. This will prevent the asparagus from becoming limp.

Conclusion:

This WW balsamic asparagus and cherry tomato salad is a healthy and delicious side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its bright flavors and鮮豔的色彩, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
