This baked asparagus side dish is so easy to make, yet it provides a variation to the usual vegetables. Try different varieties of olive oil, such as roasted garlic, or basil olive oil. I have also added garlic (fresh, minced in jar or garlic powder). I often use this method to cook broccoli florets with delicious results. Ingredients:
1 lb asparagus |
olive oil |
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds |
salt and pepper |
1 lemon |
Directions:
1. Break off ends of asparagus stalks.
2. Put in baking pan or dish.
3. Drizzle olive oil over asparagus (amount to liking).
4. Add salt and pepper to taste.
5. Spritz it with fresh lemon juice.
6. Finally, sprinkle sesame seeds on top of asparagus.
7. Bake at 375 degrees for (about 12 minutes-depending on thickness of stalk) or until fork tender.
8. Serve with lemon wedges.
