I like to just do asparagus with evoo and salt and pepper baked. But to change it up, I will add parmesan cheese, onions, bacon, etc. I just saw the Barefoot Contessa make a roasted vegetable dish that looked wonderful on the today show.


Oven-roasted vegetables


Ina Garten





INGREDIENTS





鈥?2 small fennel bulbs, tops removed


鈥?1 pound fingerling or small potatoes


鈥?1/3 cup good olive oil


鈥?Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper


鈥?1 pound French string beans (haricots verts), trimmed


鈥?1 bunch thin asparagus, ends removed, cut diagonally into 3-inch pieces


鈥?1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese





DIRECTIONS





Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.





Cut the fennel bulbs into 6 wedges each, cutting through the core to keep the wedges intact. Place on a sheet pan. Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise and place them on the pan with the fennel. Drizzle the olive oil on the vegetables, then sprinkle with 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Toss with your hands.





Roast the vegetables for 25 to 30 minutes, until the potatoes are tender, tossing once while cooking. Toss the string beans and asparagus with the roasted vegetables and roast for another 10 to 15 minutes, until the green vegetables are tender. Sprinkle on the Parmesan cheese and roast for another minute or two until the cheese melts.





Sprinkle with salt and pepper and serve hot.
I roast asparagus as you do. That's my fave prep. I sometimes add some fresh lemon juice or Meyer lemon zest. You could wrap the roasted asparagus in prosciutto serve cold. Roast the asparagus, let chill, %26amp; serve over butter letttuce surrounded with cherry, grape or pear tomatoes %26amp; fresh mozzarella balls. Drizzle with a little extra evoo, fresh grated black pepper %26amp; salt, to taste.
Toss the asparagus as usual with olive oil, salt and pepper. Mix together about 1/4 cup each, breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese and sprinkle over the top. Bake as usual. Of course, you can add garlic if you'd like. Enjoy !
I don't recommend baking asparagus. The best way too cook it is to cut of the dry, dead bottom, and put them in salty boiling water for 30-60 seconds. The quickly take them out and put them in ice water. Then squeeze half of lemon over them and enjoy.
Boil your asparagus in garlic, or bake it with garlic and chicken.
i enjoy that too, try brussels sprouts, okra. good luck
