This is especially wonderful when locally grown asparagus is in season and so easy for celebrations because you can serve it hot or cold. Ingredients:
1-1/2 pounds fresh asparagus, trimmed |
1-1/2 cups grape tomatoes, halved |
3 tablespoons pine nuts |
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
1 teaspoon kosher salt |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
1 tablespoon lemon juice |
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese |
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400°. Place the asparagus, tomatoes and pine nuts on a foil-lined 15x10x1-in. baking pan. Mix 2 tablespoons oil, garlic, salt and pepper; add to asparagus and toss to coat.
2. Bake 15-20 minutes or just until asparagus is tender. Drizzle with remaining oil and lemon juice; sprinkle with cheese and lemon peel. Toss to combine. Yield: 8 servings.
