Sesame Garlic Asparagus
Sesame Garlic Asparagus
Asparagus is one of those vegetables I’m just not sure about. I’m funny with vegetables anyway. I like most of them raw….but when they are cooked, I don’t really care for them. I’ve tried asparagus a couple of different ways and didn’t really fall in love with it. BUT…..this Sesame Garlic Asparagus Recipe may have just changed my mind! I think that sesame seeds on anything can make it better. It’s kind of like bacon…..okay, maybe not as great as bacon. But you know what I mean.
Sesame Garlic Asparagus
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds of asparagus spears washed and ends trimmed. I like to also cut mine up into smaller pieces. Maybe 1 1/2 inches or so.
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon of sesame oil
- 3 cloves of garlic minced
- 3 tablespoons of toasted sesame seeds
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F and set a large baking sheet to the side.
- In a large bowl, add the asparagus, olive oil, sesame oil and garlic. Toss until well combined.
- Lay the asparagus onto the baking sheet in a single layer and sprinkle generously with the sesame seeds.
- Season to taste with salt.
- Bake in oven for 15 to 20 minutes. Asparagus should be done but still crisp.
- Remove from oven and serve immediately.
