    Perfect Roasted Asparagus with Additional Flavor Options

    1
    By Alisa Fleming on March 2, 2008 Alisa's Recipes, Dairy-Free Recipes, Sides

    In my opinion, the best foods are naturally dairy free. Case in point: roasted vegetables. Something about the sweet caramelization of vegetables that happens at high temperatures is positively magical. And this simple roasted asparagus recipe is a perfect example. Roasting takes a woody vegetable and turns it into something tender and delicious that even kids love to eat.

    Perfect Roasted Asparagus with Additional Flavor Options

    We originally shared this recipe way back in 2008, but I’ve since added some ingredient notes and flavorful options to help you mix things up.

    Roasted Asparagus Ingredient Notes

    • Oil: You can use any high heat oil in this recipe. Olive oil is traditionally used with asparagus, but most high-heat oils will work just fine.
    • Salt: If you are timid with the salt, you can sprinkle on just 1/8 teaspoon before roasting. Then add more salt, to taste, once cooked.

    Roasted Asparagus Flavor Options

    Before roasting:

    • Sesame: Sprinkle with sesame seeds
    • Balsamic: Drizzle with a little balsamic vinegar
    • Lemon: Sprinkle with a few pinches of lemon zest. Serve with lemon wedges for squeezing on
    • Garlic: Toss in 1 to 2 minced garlic cloves
    • Onion: Sprinkle with onion powder
    • Herb: Add 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh herbs, like rosemary or thyme.
