As promised last week Detroit/Chicago/Philly Christine’s Fabulous Asparagus Recipe, on the grill.Anyway - here's my favorite ASPARAGUS recipe.
like 1/2 pound asparagus fresh, cut the white ends off
olive oil (about 1 or 2 tbsp to your liking)
kosher salt and garlic powder (or combined garlic salt)
fresh ground pepper
lemon juice
heat oven to like 425 or so... (all my recipes are fly by the seat of your pants... and come from experimenting, so its not really an exact science)....
use a baking sheet and throw some tin foil down so your sheet doesn't get gooped up with olive oil
toss the asparagus in olive oil, however much you want... more will probably give you a sweeter/fattier flavor if you are craving those things
then toss with some lemon juice, maybe about 1 tbsp...
the sprinkle with the salt, garlic and pepper...
bake for about 20 minutes if you like them softer (which makes them less-veggie like)... or maybe 15 minutes if you like the more al dente. either way, you want to get them browned / maybe a little bit blackened so they take on that roasted/charcoaled flavor, which also brings out the sweetness in the veggies. the leafy tips should be crispy....
THEY LOOK PERFECT!
