Recipe:
Roasted Asparagus with Garlic and Parsley
4.5 16Roasted Asparagus with Garlic and Parsley
Serves 4 to 6
Look for asparagus during the spring of each year, when the flavorful, fragrant stalks are at their best. This vegetable goes particularly well with roasted or grilled fish, but it's equally delicious roughly chopped and tossed into hot pasta or whole grains, too.
Ingredients
1 1/2 pounds asparagus, ends trimmed
2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
Method
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Arrange asparagus in a baking pan in a single layer. Sprinkle parsley and garlic over the top then drizzle with oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast until just tender, 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a platter and serve hot.
