Oven Roasted Asparagus With Asiago Bacon And Garlic Julias Album Recipes

CHEESY BAKED ASPARAGUS WITH GRUYERE CHEESE, GARLIC, AND BACON

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 F.
• Trim asparagus ends. Place asparagus in a medium-size casserole dish, drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, season with salt and pepper. Top with minced garlic.
• Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven at 400 F for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven.
• Sprinkle half of shredded Gruyere cheese (or Parmesan) all over asparagus. Then, add chopped cooked bacon. Top with the remaining half of shredded cheese.
• Bake for 10 more minutes, uncovered at 400 F. Serve immediately while the cheese is nice and melty!

BACON ROASTED ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Combine minced garlic in a small bowl with 3 Tbsp olive oil and set aside while preparing your asparagus and gathering the rest of your ingredients.
• Break off the fibrous ends of your asparagus by holding the base end and snapping it wherever it snaps. Discard the ends. I like this method most because it ensures that you won't have any fibrous ends. You can also use a knife to cut the ends off about 1" up from the base.
• Transfer asparagus to a rimmed baking sheet then drizzle and toss it with the garlic oil. Sprinkle lightly with salt & pepper and bake at 400°F for 13-18 mins (depending on the thickness of asparagus) or until lightly browned and easily pierced with a fork.
• While baking, saute 6 strips of bacon, drain on paper towels then coarsely chop. Serve asparagus warm and sprinkle the top with bacon.

ROASTED ASPARAGUS WITH ASIAGO

Steps:

• Remove woody stems from stalks of the asparagus by bending the stalks and snapping of the ends. In a baking pan gently toss asparagus with oil, pepper and salt; spread evenly. Bake in a 400 degrees F oven for 15 minutes. Using the largest part of your cheese grater, grate Asiago cheese. When asparagus is almost cooked, sprinkle with cheese and return to oven for 2-4 minutes to melt cheese.

• Bake in the preheated oven until just tender, 12 to 15 minutes depending on thickness. Sprinkle with lemon juice just before serving.

ASPARAGUS WITH ROASTED-GARLIC AïOLI

Steps:

• Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 400°F.

• Squeeze garlic from skins into a food processor and purée with mayonnaise, vinegar, pepper, and salt. Transfer aioli to a bowl and stir in chives.
• Peel lower two thirds of each asparagus stalk with a vegetable peeler. Cook asparagus in a wide 6- to 8-quart pot of boiling salted water, uncovered, until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Drain well in a colander and rinse under cold water until asparagus is cool. Drain and pat dry with paper towels. Serve asparagus with roasted-garlic aioli.
