Well, well, it’s time for this month’s Fantastical Food Fight! I didn’t participate last month,
I totally had a recipe ready to go, then I completely flaked out and didn’t post
it at all. Ahh! Silliness!
Anyway, I’m back and ready to go for this month’s Asparagus
food fight!
I love asparagus. The
kids…not so much. They’ll grudgingly eat
it, but still call it “ick-sparagus” Haha – we’ll get there one of these days!
Normally, I just sauté asparagus and season it with salt and
pepper, because sometimes simple is best.
For this challenge I went for oven roasted, plus garlic and
fried onions! It was definitely
delicious and the kids judged it “a bit better than usual” haha – tough crowd!
Check out the rest of the wonderful asparagus dishes after
the recipe!
Garlicky Baked Asparagus

Place the asparagus on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt

Love the addition of french fried onions. Going to have to try that.
ReplyDeleteI never thought about adding fried onions. This looks good. Is that a Silpat mat you are baking on? I love mine.
ReplyDeleteOoooh, your asparagus is such a lovely color, and you had me at fried onions! I'd eat them on dessert if I could (almost).
ReplyDeleteI love roasting asparagus but never thought to top it with fried onions.
ReplyDeleteI love oven roasted asparagus - it's probably my favorite way to prepare it. Always with s&p, garlic, and dried minced onions, but I will for sure have to try French-fried onions - YUM!
ReplyDeleteAdding fried onions to anything and I am over the moon! I am going to try this!
