V. M. Burns: Asparagus isn't a vegetable I eat often. However, I was tired of eating the same vegetables and wanted something a bit different. Asparagus came to mind. Most asparagus recipes include garlic. And while I like garlic, it doesn't like me. So, I'm always scaling back on garlic or looking for alternate seasonings that will add flavor. If garlic doesn't bother you, then you can easily add garlic instead of the Italian seasoning. Or, you can add it in addition to the Italian seasoning. I also love lemons and cheese, so anytime I can add more of those, I do. This came out perfect for me. You may want to tweak it a bit for your own tastebuds. Fortunately, it's really easy.
ROASTED ASPARAGUS
Ingredients
- 1 lb Asparagus
- 1 Teaspoon Olive Oil
- 1/2 Teaspoon salt
- 1/2 Teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/4 Teaspoon pepper
- 1 lemon
- 1/4 Cup Grated Parmesan
- Sprinkle of shredded parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Snap the ends off of the asparagus, drizzle with olive oil, and place on a baking sheet.
- Sprinkle salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and grated parmesan. NOTE: I added a little shredded parmesan just because...cheese.
- Bake for 9-12 minutes depending on how much snap you like in your asparagus.

ReplyDeleteHi Kim. Good luck!
DeleteI love asparagus. We don't have it very often, but when we do we just roast in the oven, similar to your recipe. I haven't thought of adding the cheese, though. My husband would love that. Yes. cd0228@aol.com
ReplyDeleteEverything is better with cheese! :-) Well, just about everything. Give it a try and let me know. Thanks for the comment. Good luck!
DeleteI like asparagus, but don't have it very often. This recipe sounds straightforward and good, especially the cheese part. It is also timely because asparagus goes on sale at our local supermarket beginning tomorrow. Your e-book giveaway is also timely because I recently finished Bookclubbed to Death. lroth@pcext.com
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Timing is everything. Thanks for the comment. Good luck!
DeleteThank you for the wonderful recipe. We actually grow asparagus. Hubby loves it. Me not so much. I'm always looking for new ways to serve it thinking I'll hit on the one I'll really like.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, I don't read ebooks, but I'm dying to read MURDER ON TOUR. Can't wait for the opportunity to read and review it.

I saw a recipe for asparagus brownies. Maybe I'll give those a try sometime. Sorry for about the ebooks. I have grown to love the fact that I can adjust the size of the font. But, maybe I'll give away some paper copies next time. Thanks for the comments.

ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment. Good luck!
DeleteYes to asparagus. I make it all the time. They sell it at Aldi's and it's inexpensive. We've even planted it in our garden, but it only gives us a few stalks at a time. Not enough for a meal.
ReplyDeleteAnita, I used to have a friend that grew asparagus. I'll have to check out the sales at Aldi's. Thanks for the tip.
DeleteI am also not liked by garlic!!! Thank you for this easy and surely tasty recipe. I love asparagus and cheese, so this is going to be a keeper! I will be thinking ofyou as I make this, Valerie!

DeleteYes to asparagus and yes to the giveaway
ReplyDeleteWskwared(at)yahoo(dot)com
Yay! Thanks for the comment and good luck!
DeleteUnfortunately I don't have an e-reader but thank you for the giveaway anyway. I have never tried asparagus because I'm not really a fan of garlic (oh how my Italian mother will never find that out from me) or lemons. aprilbluetx at yahoo dot com
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment. I don't have an ereader either, but Kindle has a free one you may want to try out. It's the Kindle Cloud Reader. Thanks!
DeleteWho says they have to have garlic? Nonsense.
ReplyDeleteGo for it. Just don't cook them to the mush level. That is a terrible waste.

Thanks for the comment. Good luck!
DeleteI have only tried it once and I liked it. Yes
ReplyDeleteAwesome. Thanks for the comment.
DeleteLove asparagus! It is a standard in our kitchen, whenever I can get it at a good price. I often just roast it with olive oil, salt and pepper. Will have to try adding the cheese because, well cheese!
ReplyDeleteYes to the cheese. It's so good. Thanks for the comment.
DeleteHi! I like asparagus with a dallop of mayo! YES lindaherold999@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteI've never tried mayo, but thanks for the tip. Good luck!
DeleteYes for asparagus. That recipe looks delicious and really easy. I've never had cheese on asparagus, but it looks good and I love cheese. I have recently been adding Parmesan cheese to a lot of things. This just reminded me to add it to my green bean casserole topping for Easter.
ReplyDeleteCheese is what got me to eat broccoli as a kid. It's great. Thanks for the comment and happy Easter.
