Seasoned Asparagus Recipes

Steps:

• Remove woody ends from asparagus and discard.
• Place asparagus in large ziploc bag. Pour in oil and sprinkle seasoning.
• Close bag forcing out air. Rub asparagus through bag to evenly distribute seasonings.
• Grill to your taste. We use a pan for the grill that has holes in it. Often serve with grilled shrimp since it can all be placed in the same pan. Delicious.

Steps:

• Place asparagus in a single layer on a baking sheet or broiler pan (suggested).
• Drizzle with oil and lemon juice; sprinkle with seasoned salt - coat evenly.
• Bake at 450 F for a total of 10 minutes or until crisp-tender. For a more even tenderness, turn each aspargus stalk after 5 minutes.
• Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese immediately before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Butter a shallow baking dish that is long enough to hold the asparagus. Season the asparagus with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Divide the asparagus into 8 equal bundles. Arrange 2 slices of the prosciutto on a work surface so they slightly overlap each other. Place an asparagus bundle on top and roll up carefully in the prosciutto. Arrange in the prepared baking dish. Flatten the top of each bundle slightly and sprinkle with 1/4 of the seasoned bread crumbs. Drizzle with the olive oil.
• Roast in the oven until heated through and crisp, about 10 minutes. Serve at once on a platter with the sliced ham.
• 1 1/2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 cloves minced garlic
• 1/4 cup fine dried bread crumbs
• Pinch gray salt
• Freshly ground pepper
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley leaves
• 1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest
• 1 tablespoon freshly grated Parmesan
• To make the seasoned bread crumbs, heat the olive oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Tilt the pan and then add the minced garlic and saute briefly until pale gold. Add the bread crumbs, season with salt and pepper, and lower the heat to medium. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the bread crumbs are toasted, about 3 minutes. Pour into a small bowl and add the parsley, lemon zest, and Parmesan. Toss well. (The crumbs keep, tightly sealed and refrigerated, for several days.)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Snap the dry stem ends off of each asparagus and place on a heavy baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and toss. Roast until the asparagus is tender, about 15 minutes. Cool completely.
• Wrap each asparagus with 1 piece (about 1/2 a slice) of prosciutto, exposing tips. Arrange on a platter and serve at room temperature.

Steps:

• For the seasoning: Stir desired seasoning combination in a large bowl until well mixed.; set aside.
• For the asparagus fries: Heat 2 inches of vegetable oil in a large heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat until a deep-frying thermometer registers 360 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with paper towels.
• Meanwhile, whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice and garlic in a small bowl until well combined; set aside.
• Whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder and lemon zest in a medium bowl. Slowly pour in the lager and whisk until smooth. Dip half of the asparagus pieces into the batter, turning to coat completely and letting any excess drip off. Carefully add a few of the asparagus pieces at a time to the hot oil until all the battered pieces are added, then fry until golden brown on all sides and crisp-tender on the inside, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to the paper towels and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Repeat with the remaining asparagus pieces and batter, making sure to bring the oil back to 360 degrees F for the second batch.
• Toss the warm fries in the bowl with the seasoning combination and serve with the lemon aioli.

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat for 1 minute. Cook asparagus in hot oil, turning regularly, until slightly tender, about 5 minutes; add bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, and garlic powder. Turn asparagus with a spatula to coat evenly with the mixture. Reduce heat to medium and continue cooking until the asparagus is completely tender, about 8 minutes. Season with sea salt.

Steps:

• Preheat a grill.
• Place asparagus on a plate. Drizzle oil over the asparagus and turn spears until they are coated. Sprinkle with salt and turn again.
• Grill asparagus for 5 minutes over a hot grill. Each minute or so, roll each spear 1/4 turn. Asparagus should begin to brown in spots (indicating that the natural sugars are caramelizing) but should it not be allowed to char. Dripping oil may cause flare-ups. Keep a glass, or spray bottle of water handy to spritz on coals, if necessary.
• Remove from grill and serve immediately (eating spears with your fingers enhances the experience).

Steps:

• Pour about 1-inch of water into a large saucepan, and set up a collapsible steamer inside. Bring the water to boil, lay the asparagus in the steamer, cover, and steam until crisp-tender, about 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer asparagus to a heated serving dish, drizzle with the olive oil, and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Garnish with lemon and serve immediately.
• Cook's Note: You may finish the asparagus with the grated zest of a small lemon, a tablespoon of unsalted butter, and a teaspoon of minced flat-leaf parsley leaves, instead of the oil.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Snap the asparagus at the tender part of the stalk. Arrange spears in one layer on a baking sheet. Spray lightly with nonstick spray; sprinkle with the Cajun seasoning.
• Bake in the preheated oven until tender, about 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 F degrees. Cover a baking pan or cookie sheet with foil (for easy cleanup).
• Drizzle the olive oil over the mushrooms and asparagus and gently toss to coat them.
• Put the mushrooms in the center of the pan; arrange the asparagus on both sides of the mushrooms with tips pointing in both directions on both sides of the mushrooms; reserve the tomatoes at this point.
• Bake the mushrooms and asparagus in the oven for about 15-20 minutes.
• Scatter the tomatoes over top of asparagus; drizzling a touch of olive oil over the top of the tomatoes.
• Sprinkle a touch of sea salt over top of tomatoes and asparagus and bake for approximately another 10 minutes. Make sure to check your asparagus and mushrooms to desired tenderness.
• For the sauce:
• Pour the milk into a medium sized saucepan.
• Make an 'ornament' with the onion, bay leaf and clove by using the clove to pierce the bay leaf and then poke the bay leaf into the onion; add your 'ornament' to the milk in the saucepan.
• Warm the milk gently over low heat, to infuse the flavors, until it just begins to boil; cover and let rest for about 15 minutes or so while you follow the next step.
• In another medium saucepan melt the butter over low heat; mix in the flour and cook for a couple of minutes stirring constantly.
• Add the milk to the butter/flour mixture 1/2 cup at a time; cook and stir until all the milk has been added.
• For a stronger flavor in your sauce you can add the onion from the milk mixture at this point.
• Cook over low heat until thick, about 20-25 minutes; stirring occasionally so it doesn't burn on the bottom.
• Once the sauce has thickened remove the onion, and add salt and pepper to taste; leaving the sauce over very low heat.
• Stir in the cream (if using) to give a silky texture to the sauce. You don't have to use it all depending on the thickness of your sauce; keeping in mind the cheese will also thicken the sauce further.
• Add the mustard and cheese to the sauce until the cheese is melted; BE VERY CAREFUL NOT TO LET BOIL!. The cheese will separate and it will not look appealing.
• Drizzle the Cheese Sauce over top of the baked vegetables and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Lightly spray a cookie sheet with vegetable cooking spray.
• Place the asparagus and mushrooms in a bowl. Drizzle with the olive oil, then season with rosemary, salt, and pepper; toss well. Lay the asparagus and mushrooms out on the prepared pan in an even layer. Roast in the preheated oven until the asparagus is tender, about 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat an Oven proof pan (about 10") in a hot oven for 5 minutes.
• Pour in the oil& Italian seasoning.
• Coat the whole pan.
• Roll the asparagus in the oil to coat all sides.
• Bake in 400F degrees oven for 5-7 min Do not over cook!
• The asparagus should just be heated through but still very crisp.
• Remove from oven, drizzle with the vinegar.
• Add salt& pepper.
• Sprinkle with Parmesan (if desired).
• Serve immediately or serve at room temperature.

Steps:
