I think roasting is the best way to eat a vegetable. If there is a vegetable out there you don't like, just try roasting it and I bet your opinion changes! My favorite roasted vegetable is asparagus. It is just so yummy and so simple to do. Try it out, you'll love it.
Roasted Asparagus
recipe from Ina Garten
2 pounds asparagus fresh asparagus
Olive oil
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Break off the tough ends of the asparagus.Wash and pat asparagus dry. Place them on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Toss them to coat them completely. Spread them on the baking sheet in a single layer and sprinkle them liberally with salt and pepper. Roast for 25 minutes until tender, but still crisp.
How was I not invited to this dinner? I see the Baked Penne (aka Baked Ziti) in the background and that roasted asparagus looks absolutely divine. A dream come true! Maybe you knew I'd eat everything...
ReplyDeleteSometimes for a twist mom will grate some Parmesean Cheese (the expensive stuff--not the bottle kind) over the top and put back in the oven for a few minutes for cheese to melt. Delicious either way!
Refreshing! Fantastic!
