This Oven Roasted Asparagus is so simple and delicious! I Love the Parmesan cheese with the asparagus, definitely worth repeating.

I have also tried a combo of parm, Asiago, and Romano cheese and this is wonderful as well.

This dish turns out like restaurant quality asparagus. Never a mushy piece. A nice addition to any meal. A real treat for asparagus lovers.

This is my all-time favorite recipe for Hot German Potato Salad. The combination of tangy, sweet and savory flavors is fantastic!

This was passed down from my friends Great-Great-Grand Mother who came from Germany in the 1800’s.

This recipe is almost identical to my neighbors recipe. She was born and raised in Regensburg Germany. So I’m guessing it’s authentic!

This can also be served at room temperature and cold. It doesn’t have to be hot.

I love these Easy Baked Potato Wedges. They are so simple to make and yet they taste so great! They also have a great color from the paprika, and the spices are just right.

These potatoes even pass the kiddie test. Yummy!

I almost always serve these when I have a backyard BBQ. In fact one of my main menus include these potatoes along with Amarillo Grilled Steaks and Special Cucumber Salad. Grilled Stuffed Jalapenos is usually the appetizer.

Delicious brussels sprouts by Rachael Ray. The bacon and shallots are an excellent combination with the sprouts!

Course: Side Dish

Keyword: Brussels Sprouts With Bacon and Shallots

Calories: 195 kcal

• 3 slices chopped bacon
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 shallots minced
• 1 1/2 pounds small Brussels sprouts trimmed but left whole
• salt and pepper
• 1 cup chicken broth

Instructions

1. Brown the bacon. When crisp, remove the bacon from the pan and drain the fat. Add the olive oil and shallots and saute 1-2 minutes. When the shallots are tender, add the Brussels sprouts and cook for 2-3 minutes on medium high heat until they are soft.

3. Cook for 10 minutes or until tender. Top with bacon and serve.

Tips and Tidbits About Brussels Sprouts

I used fresh Brussels Sprouts when I made this dish. However, I think frozen would work just fine.

If you go the fresh route pick out sprouts that are on the small side. They will be more tender and will cook up faster.

In addition to the size, you want to pick out sprouts that seem heavy for their size and have tightly packed leaves.

Avoid brussels sprouts that have yellowing leaves or black spots. Yellowing indicates age and the black spots could be a sign of fungus.

The best sprouts will make the best Brussels Sprouts with Bacon and Shallots!

Enjoy!

Simple Roasted Asparagus is such an easy and elegant way to cook asparagus.  The asparagus gets a slightly nutty flavor after roasting.

The nutty flavor makes asparagus even yummier!

I’m a big asparagus fan and I’m always on the lookout for new ways to make it. I absolutely love asparagus cooked this way.

I find it easier to put the asparagus in a bowl to toss with the oil. Sometimes I sprinkle with Parmesan as soon as it comes out of the oven.

Simple Roasted Asparagus is exactly that... Simple! But oh so good.

Course: Side Dish

Cuisine: American

Keyword: Simple Roasted Asparagus

Servings: 4

Calories: 185 kcal

Ingredients

• 1 lb asparagus
• 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt or 1/4 teaspoon regular table salt

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425°F.
2. Cut off the woody bottom part of the asparagus spears and discard. With a vegetable peeler, peel off the skin on the bottom 2-3 inches of the spears (this keeps the asparagus from being all "stringy" and if you eat asparagus you know what I mean by that).
3. Place asparagus on a foil-lined baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt.
4. With your hands, roll the asparagus around until they are evenly coated with oil and salt. Roast for 10-15 minutes, depending on the thickness of your stalks and how tender you like them.

Simple Roasted Asparagus should be tender when pierced with the tip of a knife. The tips of the spears will get very brown but watch them in order to prevent burning.

They are great plain, but sometimes I serve them with a light vinaigrette if I want something acidic to balance out my meal.

Enjoy!

I love these Oven Steak Fries! I don’t know if I will ever make any other kind of oven fries ever again .

I was making some fried fish and wanted some fries to go with it, but didn’t want to actually fry them, so I did a search and found that I had all of the ingredients to make these.

I’m so glad I did. The Montreal steak seasoning along with the thyme and oregano, really add wonderful flavors to these potatoes.

This is a favorite side dish of mine. Especially with Spicy Catfish Tenders With Cajun Tartar Sauce.

Oven-Roasted Asparagus will give you a crunchy result and it seems to enhance the flavor. Use any of your favorite herbs if you don’t like Italian seasoning or omit the herb altogether.

Roasting this way really enhances the flavor.

This is my favorite side dish when I cook Parmesan Crusted Fish filets!

Depending on the size of your asparagus, you might have to roast a little longer than 7 minutes.

But it’s a great, easy and tasty way to do asparagus!! Try it and I’ll bet you will never cook asparagus any other way.
