Roasted Asparagus

If you were like me who wants to try asparagus, but afraid about how the recipe is going to turn out and not tried at all? I guess now is the time to try out for the people who are afraid about this veggie. There are few programs I watch at food network; shows of Giada’s, Rachel Ray, Sandra lee, and recently I started to watch Barefoot Contessa shows and that’s how I got this recipe. It was quite simple and easy to cook and less work for me. May be you also like to know how this recipe tastes? - It tastes like boiled peanuts. Here goes the recipe!!

Method

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Break off the tough ends of the asparagus and peel them. Brush the baking sheet with olive oil and place the asparagus.
  • Drizzle 2 tbsp of olive oil, salt and ground pepper and coat them completely. Bake them for 15 – 20 minutes until the asparagus is tender and crisp.
  • Take it out and sprinkle with 1 tbsp of Parmesan and return to the oven for another minute.

Serve with lemon wedges

Notes:

You can skip parmesan part, and you can try this recipe directly on the stove top.
