Tarragon Roasted Asparagus
Tarragon Roasted Asparagus makes a nice side dish to your Daniel Fast main meal. The tarragon adds a subtle, yet distinct flavor to the asparagus (not sweet or bitter but somewhere in between with hints of licorice and vanilla).
Ingredients
- 1 pound asparagus, trimmed (36-40 thin spears or 18-20 thick spears)
- 1/2 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon tarragon
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Lightly spray a baking sheet with olive oil spray, and place asparagus spears on sheet in one layer. Brush with olive oil.
- Combine tarragon, garlic powder, and salt in a small bowl. Sprinkle over spears, and then roll to coat well. Roast 15 minutes.
- Yield: 6 servings (serving size : about 6-7 thin spears or 3-4 thick spears)
Notes
- Works well as a side dish for Daniel Fast meals, such as Blackened Lentils and Onions, Sicilian Beans and Rice, or Chipotle Black Bean Burger.
- If you're not a fan of tarragon or don't have it on hand, you can substitute it for basil, oregano, or mint leaves.
This was the best asparagus I’ve ever eaten! I used a little more garlic powder and tarragon than called for but it was amazing. Thank you so much for this recipe.
