Baked Asparagus Community Pick Submitted by Leilani "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."   icons / ellipsis / ellipsis-horizontal save Download Print Share I Made This photo by Baby Kato photo by Baby Kato photo by Baby Kato photo by Baby Kato photo by Baby Kato photo by Bonnie G #2 photo by Bonnie G #2 photo by Bergy photo by Bergy photo by Bergy photo by Bergy Ready In: 15mins Ingredients: 5 Serves: 4 Nutrition information

  1. Also, think I'd rather toss in fry pan with evoo, lemon, and garlic. Cooking for one person, don't want to waste money   icons / ellipsis / ellipsis-horizontal Angie C. Reply
  2. I have seen people peel the asparagus before, cooking, why? And does it make it more tender? Seems to me, you'd want to get all the stalks. I do peel celery, because of the strings, is it necessary to do asparagus that way? Haven't tried it at home, but great in restaurants.   icons / ellipsis / ellipsis-horizontal Angie C.

  1. This is really delicious and sooo simple. I just tossed the asparagus with the olive oil and fresh lemon juice and then sprinkled on the sesame seeds. I used more sesame seeds than the recipe called for because I love them. Great combination of lemony asparagus with a little crunch. This will be a regular at our house!   icons / ellipsis / ellipsis-horizontal SuzieQue Reply 17
  2. What a simple and utterly delicious treat! Made exactly as directed for excellent results. Thanks for this one, Leilani! Will definately be making again! :)   icons / ellipsis / ellipsis-horizontal Bev I Am Reply 15
  3. Another excellent way to cook asparagus which is fast becoming one of my favourite veggies. I had very small asparagus and they were just done to perfection at 12 minutes. We do like our vegetables a bit crisp but I think the larger asparagus would possibly take another minute or two.   icons / ellipsis / ellipsis-horizontal Darlene10 Reply 7
  4. A wonderful recipe for asparagus!!! I didn't have any sesame seeds, but the asparagus turned out great anyway....bright green and just a little crisp to the bite...It was fantastic!!!   icons / ellipsis / ellipsis-horizontal Denise in NH Reply 5
  5. The amount of olive oil in this recipe sounds like a lot. I don't ever measure any of the ingredients, just throw together. I like to coat the asparagus's, but you can baste them or use less, if the amount frightens you. i enjoy this recipe because it takes mere seconds to prepare, but tastes very good.   icons / ellipsis / ellipsis-horizontal Leilani Reply 5

  1. Oh yes - This is so simple and so good. My Mom has always disliked asparagus but when I made them for her this way - she quickly changed her mind and now makes it for her and my Dad. I use fresh ground sea salt and fresh ground pepper and instead of the sesame seeds use a bit of garlic. Tip when I drizzle my olive oil on the asparagus, I use a little bit and roll them around so they are easily coated without using too much oil.   Sunsh1ne Reply
  2. I used Sesame oil in place of the olive oil. Really stand out flavor and company worthy. Goood simple recipe!   riffraff Reply
