Roasted Sesame Asparagus


I made that Ma Po Tofu dish again tonight and decided to adapt a recipe I go to quite often from Kerri's Greatest Hits. This is an adaptation of Kerri's Roasted Sesame Green Beans. Here is what I did:

Preheat oven to 450F. Mix 1 t. olive oil, 2 t. honey, 3 cloves garlic (minced) in a small bowl and set aside. Trim 1 lb. asparagus. Line a 9x13 baking sheet with foil. Line up asparagus on baking sheet in one layer. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Roast 10 minutes.

Remove baking sheet from oven. Using tongs, coat asparagus evenly with garlic mixture; redistribute in one even layer. Continue roasting another 10-12 minutes. During the last 2 minutes of cooking sprinkle generously with sesame seeds.

Ah, a recipe with 3 steps or less. Alas, I think I can make this one! Thanks for sharing.

Sorry, forgot the review! Yes, very tasty but the Ma Po Tofu dish steals the show every time!
