Caramelized Oven Asparagus Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Spread asparagus in the bottom of an ovenproof pan (I used ceramic).
• Sprinkle melted butter over asparagus.
• Sprinkle lemon juice over asparagus and butter.
• Add coarse sea salt to taste (use sparingly).
• Place in oven uncovered and cook until asparagus is starting to brown and become crisp about 45 minutes to 1 hour.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Break off the tough ends of the asparagus and, if they're thick, peel them. Place the asparagus on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, then toss to coat the asparagus completely. Spread the asparagus in a single layer and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. Roast the asparagus for 25 minutes, until tender but still crisp.

Steps:

• Melt 1/2 of the ghee in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Add onion; spread out into a thin layer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and beginning to brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Reduce heat if it's browning too quickly; do not allow to burn. Add garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in vinegar.
• Transfer onion-garlic mixture to a bowl; season with salt and pepper. Wipe out skillet and melt the remaining ghee over medium-low heat. Add walnut pieces and stir until crisp and lightly toasted, about 3 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside.
• Add asparagus to the same skillet and increase heat to medium-high. Cook, stirring frequently, until bright green, tender, but still crunchy, 10 to 12 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Plate asparagus, add onion mixture, and garnish with walnuts.

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Place the asparagus into a mixing bowl, and drizzle with the olive oil. Toss to coat the spears, then sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, garlic, salt, and pepper. Arrange the asparagus onto a baking sheet in a single layer.
• Bake in the preheated oven until just tender, 12 to 15 minutes depending on thickness. Sprinkle with lemon juice just before serving.

Steps:

• Heat the extra-virgin olive oil, 3 turns of the pan, in a skillet over medium to medium-high heat.
• Add onions and cook until caramel colored, stirring occasionally.
• Pour 1-inch of water into a skillet and bring to boil.
• Add salt and asparagus and cook 3 minutes, drain.
• Stir mustard, balsamic vinegar, thyme and pepper into onions and toss with asparagus to coat.
