Asparagus with a Middle Eastern Touch image

One more delicious way to serve roasted asparagus.

Provided by Lori Loucas

Categories     Vegetables

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 bunch thin asparagus
3-5 Tbsp olive oil
1 Tbsp za'atar spice, or to taste
kosher salt, to taste
1 lemon, cut in half

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 400F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • 2. Break the woody ends off the asparagus spears. Spread the asparagus on the baking sheet and squeeze half the lemon over the spears. Then drizzle the olive oil over the spears and toss to coat. Sprinkle with salt and Za'atar
  • 3. Roast in the oven for about thirty minutes, stirring once during cooking, until they are done to your liking - depending on how thick the asparagus is.
  • 4. Remove from oven and squeeze remaining lemon over before serving.

PAN-SEARED ASPARAGUS WITH CRISPY GARLIC



Pan-Seared Asparagus With Crispy Garlic image

Before asparagus got moved to its own botanical family, Asparagaceae, in the early 2000s, it was part of the lily family along with onions, chives, shallots and garlic. It makes sense then, that asparagus and garlic make such a good duo. When cooked with care, both can be mild and sweet (or pungent and bitter when cooked carelessly). To highlight the best of both ingredients, gently fry garlic into chips for a crispy topping, then use the lightly infused oil to sauté the asparagus. Both thin and chubby spears work, as would nearly any other vegetable you like with garlic: broccoli, kale, snap peas, fennel and more.

Categories     vegetables, side dish

Time 10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 bunch asparagus (about 1 pound), ends snapped or trimmed

Steps:

  • Place a paper towel-lined plate next to the stove. In a medium or large skillet, combine the garlic and olive oil over medium-low heat. Cook, shaking the skillet often, until the garlic is very light golden, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat, tilt it, then use a slotted spoon to transfer the garlic to the towel-lined plate, leaving the remaining oil in the skillet. Season the crispy garlic with salt.
  • Return the skillet to medium-high heat. Add the asparagus, season with salt and pepper, and cook, shaking often, until bright green, crisp-tender and browned in spots, 4 to 5 minutes. Slide onto a platter, including any oil in the skillet. Top with the garlic chips and season again with salt and pepper.
