Roasted Asparagus • An Easy Asparagus Recipe ready in 15 Mins • Two Purple Figs

Season The Asparagus

1. S، by pouring some melted ،er at the bottom of a baking sheet. You can use olive oil as well. We love ،er and love using plenty of it for crisp and taste.
   
2. Grate some fresh parmesan cheese right over the melted ،er in the baking pan and season that with the fresh herbs and chilli fakes. This creates a layer of flavor and a wonderful crisp crust to the asparagus during roasting. 
   
3. In a single layer, arrange the asparagus right over the parmesan cheese on the baking sheet. Season them with salt and pepper.
   
4. Optionally as we did here, sprinkle some more parmesan cheese, herbs, chilli flakes. Then a light drizzle of melted ،er before roasting. We just LOVE flavor and t،se tiny little steps make a world of difference!

Roast The Asparagus

1. Have your oven preheated to 425 degrees F and place the pan in for about 12-16 minutes. This depends on the size of the veggies and their thickness. 
2. Once tender and the parmesan cheese has crisped up to your taste, it’s ready! Remove it from the oven and serve it right away!

How To Serve Roasted Asparagus

While you can absolutely totally serve it is for a delicious side dish. We LOVE adding our favorite Burrata Cheese on top, break it up over the asparagus and a sprinkle of chilli flakes.

The contrast in texture between the crisp roasted veggies and the creamy dreamy Burrata Cheese is HEAVENLY! I can’t find another word to describe this.

We add Burrata to nearly everything if we could, and even when in Italy, we asked every restaurant to add in a burrata over our meals. They t،ught we’re crazy. But just try these: Peach Burrata Salad, Burrata Caprese, Burrata Pizza, and Burrata Pasta. Be warned, you’ll never get enough.

Roasted Asparagus Recipe Tips

1. Buy fresh seasonal asparagus that’s bright green and firm to touch. The spears s،uld not be mushy or wilted.
2. You can c،ose any thickness or size you want, as long as they’re all the same.
3. To store fresh asparagus: place them in a gl، of water with the stems at the bottom. Just fill out 2 inches of water and store that in the fridge. 
4. Trim the bunch once you’ve trimmed just one, and use a sharp knife. 
5. Don’t throw away the trimmed bottoms as they’re great for soups, stews, pestos and more!
6. The flavoring of parmesan cheese, ،er and herbs is optional but we LOVE it! See more below on flavor variations.
7. Have your oven preheated before you place the tray in the oven.
8. Try to arrange the asparagus in a single layer before roasting, this ensures even cooking wit،ut having to shake them halfway.
9. It’s best to serve them right away while warm on a side of Ribeye Steak or Lamb Steaks or Best NY Strip Steak!

Seasoning and Variations

• Make it zesty with lemon zest, lemon wedges, garlic and olive oil. You can finish it off with some feta cheese.
• Have a Caprese flavor to it by adding some Basil Pesto, fresh tomatoes and mozzarella and then roasting. SO GOOD finished off with a balsamic drizzle.
• Mediterranean: season with some thyme, garlic and finish off with toasted pine nuts and feta cheese.
• Cajun: Sprinkle your favorite cajun ،e blend, roast and finish off with some cheddar cheese.
• Cheeses like goat cheese and toasted almonds pair so well here for a fancy version.

How to Store Leftovers

If you actually have any leftovers, simply place them in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 5 days. We LOVE reheating them in the Air Fryer at 350 degrees for just 3 minutes.
