Pan Roasted Asparagus With Red Onion And Bacon Recipes

BACON ROASTED ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Combine minced garlic in a small bowl with 3 Tbsp olive oil and set aside while preparing your asparagus and gathering the rest of your ingredients.
• Break off the fibrous ends of your asparagus by holding the base end and snapping it wherever it snaps. Discard the ends. I like this method most because it ensures that you won't have any fibrous ends. You can also use a knife to cut the ends off about 1" up from the base.
• Transfer asparagus to a rimmed baking sheet then drizzle and toss it with the garlic oil. Sprinkle lightly with salt & pepper and bake at 400°F for 13-18 mins (depending on the thickness of asparagus) or until lightly browned and easily pierced with a fork.
• While baking, saute 6 strips of bacon, drain on paper towels then coarsely chop. Serve asparagus warm and sprinkle the top with bacon.

PAN ROASTED ASPARAGUS WITH RED ONION AND BACON

Steps:

• Cook bacon in 12-inch skillet over medium heat until crisp, 8-10 minutes. using slotted spoon, transfer bacon to paper towel-lined plate; set aside. Pour off and discard all but 1 tablespoon of fat from pan.
• Return skillet to medium-high heat and add onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until edges darken and onions begin to soften, about 3 minutes. Add vinegar and maple syrup; cook until liquids reduce and cling to onions, about 2 minutes. Transfer onions to bowl and cover with foil.
• Rinse skillet with water and dry well with paper towels.
• Heat oil and butter in skillet over medium-high heat. When butter has melted, add half of asparagus to skillet with tips pointed in one direction; add remaining spears with tops pointed in opposite direction. Using tongs, distribute spears evenly; cover and cook until asparagus is bright green and still crisp, about 5 minutes.
• Uncover and increase heat to high; season with salt and pepper. Cook until spears are tender and well browned along one side, using tongs to occasionally move spears from center of pan to edge of pan to ensure all are browned, 5-7 minutes.
• Transfer asparagus to serving dish and top with onion; salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle with bacon. Serve immediately.

PERFECT ROASTED ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Snap off the woody ends of the asparagus (if you sharply bend the asparagus near the base, it will snap in the right place). Discard the ends.
• Place the asparagus on the sheet and drizzle with 1 to 2 teaspoons olive oil, just enough to lightly coat the asparagus. Sprinkle salt and pepper over the asparagus, and toss until the spears are lightly coated in oil. Arrange the spears in a single layer on the pan.
• Bake just until the base of the asparagus is easily pierced through by a fork. Very thin asparagus, like the kind shown here, will take as little as 9 to 12 minutes, whereas thicker asparagus will need 15 to 20 minutes.
• Transfer the roasted asparagus to a serving platter and season however you'd like. You could keep it simple with a squeeze of lemon juice, or a sprinkle of Parmesan, or add a pat of butter or drizzle of balsamic vinegar.
• Roasted asparagus is best served when it's fresh out of the oven, but it will keep at room temperature for up to 1 hour or up to 4 days in the refrigerator (gently reheat before serving).

In another large shallow baking pan, toss onion with 1 1/2 teaspoons oil until coated well. Roast vegetables in upper and lower thirds of oven, shaking pans occasionally and switching position of pans in oven halfway through baking, until tender and lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Cool vegetables and cut asparagus into 1/2-inch-thick slices.
• Preheat broiler.
• Grease a large baking sheet. On sheet, arrange 4 tortillas in one layer and divide vegetables, pepper Jack, and coriander among them. Cover quesadillas with remaining 4 tortillas.
• Brush top tortillas with remaining 2 tablespoons oil and broil quesadillas about 3 inches from heat until golden brown, about 2 minutes. With a metal spatula, turn quesadillas over and broil until golden brown, about 2 minutes.
