One of the most prevalent vegetables at farmers markets around this time of year is asparagus! I love asparagus! It has its own unique taste that compliments many vegetables in wonderful ways that only asparagus can. And it doesn't take much to enhance the depth of its flavor.
Here's a little recipe that I made for my dinner tonight using the fresh asparagus I bought at the Farmers Market two weeks ago!
Parmesan Crusted Asparagus
Ingredients
1 lb green asparagus
3/4 - 1 cup of grated parmesan cheese
1 dash sea salt
1 dash ground pepper
non-stick cooking spray or spray on oil
Directions
Snap off root ends of asparagus (if you snap instead of cut, it will break at the perfect spot so that you're not left with more fiber than actual vegetable). Rinse. Set oven to 350. Mix together cheese, salt and pepper and spread out on a plate (or put in a big ziploc bag). Spray each asparagus with oil. Roll around in cheese until fully coated. Put on a non-stick oven pan. Put in oven for 10 minutes, take out and flip them over, put back in for 10 minutes. Remove and enjoy!
This dish would be good with a variety of meats, especially chicken and beef, or even beside a lemon-pepper fish fillet. It's so quick to prepare, very good for you and oh so tasty!
