I hope you’ve discovered that roasting vegetables is just about the best thing ever. Have you? I roast peppers, onions, butternut squash, zucchini and cauliflower. I’m admittedly quite obsessed with the whole vegetable roasting process. There is something magical that happens when you roast vegetables. They’re GOOD that way! Today I’m showing you a roasted asparagus recipe. My usual way to eat asparagus is to just steam them and eat them with a little mayonnaise. In this recipe they are roasted in a citrus vinaigrette until tender. And they’re super delicious!
You just lay your beautiful, fresh asparagus on a baking sheet side-by-side. I like to put some tops one way and some the other… just because they snuggle onto the baking sheet better that way.
A really, really simple citrus vinaigrette is drizzled on the asparagus and slices of the citrus are added on top too. At this point they are popped into the oven for 12 to 15 minutes.
The result: tender, ROASTED asparagus with a citrus flair. We enjoyed this as a side dish to grilled steak, but it would go well with anything really- chicken, pork or fish. Enjoy!
