Roasted Asparagus Sprinkled With Feta Olive Oil And Dill Recipes

ROASTED ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F.
• 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).
• Place asparagus on foil-lined baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil.
• Sprinkle with salt.
• 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.
• They should be tender when pierced with the tip of a knife.
• The tips of the spears will get very brown but watch them to prevent burning.
• They are great plain, but sometimes I serve them with a light vinaigrette if we need something acidic to balance out our meal.

ROASTED ASPARAGUS WITH FETA CHEESE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Divide and toss the asparagus with the olive oil, salt, and pepper, and arrange in a single layer on 2 to 3 separate large rimmed baking sheets.
• Place in the oven and roast until the spears are tender and the tips are turning golden and slightly charred, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Prepare the vinaigrette while the asparagus is roasting. To a bowl, add the Dijon mustard, vinegar, salt, and pepper. Whisk in the olive oil to emulsify. Taste for seasoning and adjust, if necessary.
• Remove the asparagus from the oven and place on a serving platter. Drizzle with the vinaigrette and sprinkle with the feta cheese. Serve warm or at room temperature.

ROASTED ASPARAGUS

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.

ROASTED ASPARAGUS WITH ASIAGO

Steps:

• Remove woody stems from stalks of the asparagus by bending the stalks and snapping of the ends. In a baking pan gently toss asparagus with oil, pepper and salt; spread evenly. Bake in a 400 degrees F oven for 15 minutes. Using the largest part of your cheese grater, grate Asiago cheese. When asparagus is almost cooked, sprinkle with cheese and return to oven for 2-4 minutes to melt cheese.

FETA AND DILL FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350˚. Whisk the eggs, 1/4 cup yogurt, the dill, turmeric, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in an 8-inch ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the scallions and cook, stirring, until softened, about 30 seconds. Pour in the egg mixture. As the edges start to set, scrape them with a rubber spatula and push the cooked egg toward the middle of the pan. Continue doing this until the eggs are about half cooked, 2 to 3 minutes, then stop stirring and let the edges set, about 30 seconds. Sprinkle the feta on top.
• Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until the frittata is set and just a little soft in the middle when pressed, 13 to 15 minutes. Let cool in the skillet for a few minutes, then slide out onto a cutting board.
• Meanwhile, slice the cucumbers and toss with 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Let sit 5 minutes, then drain off any liquid. Stir in the remaining 1/4 cup yogurt and the lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper.
• Warm the pitas in the oven, about 3 minutes; tear into quarters. Cut the frittata into wedges and divide among plates along with the cucumber salad and pita. Top the cucumber salad with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and the pomegranate seeds.

ROASTED ASPARAGUS WITH BUTTERED ALMONDS, CAPERS AND DILL

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit/220 degrees Celsius. Line a baking sheet (baking tray) with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl or on a work surface, use your hands or tongs to toss the asparagus with 1 tablespoon oil, a generous pinch of salt and a good grind of pepper. Arrange asparagus in the paper-lined pan, spaced well apart, and roast, shaking the pan occasionally, until asparagus is soft and starting to brown in places, 8 to 12 minutes, depending on thickness. Remove from oven and set aside in the pan.
• In a small or medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat until foamy. Add almonds and fry, stirring frequently, until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes (reduce heat as needed to prevent scorching). Pour almonds and butter evenly over asparagus.
• Add remaining 2 tablespoons oil to the pan and heat over high heat. Once hot, add the capers and fry, stirring continuously, until they have opened up and become crisp, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Using a slotted spoon, remove capers from the oil and sprinkle over the asparagus. Add dill. Using tongs or two spoons, mix gently to combine, transfer to a large plate and serve warm.

• Bake in the preheated oven until just tender, 12 to 15 minutes depending on thickness. Sprinkle with lemon juice just before serving.

ROASTED SALMON & ASPARAGUS WITH DILL-MUSTARD SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• Combine potatoes, 1 Tbsp. oil, and 1/4 tsp. each salt and pepper in a medium bowl; stir until evenly coated. Spread on a large rimmed baking sheet. Roast for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, toss asparagus with 1 Tbsp. oil and 1/4 tsp. salt in the medium bowl. After the potatoes have roasted for 10 minutes, remove from oven. Stir the potatoes and add the asparagus in an even layer. Nestle salmon pieces among the vegetables. Sprinkle the salmon with the remaining 1/4 tsp. salt and top with dill sprigs and lemon slices.
• Continue roasting until the vegetables are tender and beginning to brown and the salmon flakes easily with a fork, about 10 minutes more.
• Meanwhile, heat the remaining 2 Tbsp. oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add shallot and cook, stirring, until just beginning to brown, about 3 minutes. Whisk in mustard, capers, lemon juice, and the remaining 1/4 tsp. pepper; heat through. Stir in chopped dill.
• Discard the lemon slices and dill sprigs. Serve the salmon and vegetables with the dill sauce and garnish with additional fresh dill, if desired.

ROASTED ASPARAGUS WITH CRISPY LEEKS AND CAPERS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees. Put asparagus on a rimmed sheet pan and toss with 1 tablespoon oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt until well coated.
• In a small bowl, stir together leeks, remaining 1 tablespoon oil, and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Sprinkle leeks on top of asparagus, then sprinkle with capers. Roast until asparagus are tender and golden brown, about 12 to 18 minutes.
• While the asparagus stalks roast, make the mustard sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together mustard, capers and garlic. Slowly whisk in olive oil a few drops at a time to create a thick, emulsified dressing. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Once asparagus stalks are out of the oven, squeeze a lemon wedge over it and sprinkle parsley on top. Serve with mustard sauce and more lemon wedges on the side.

OVEN-ROASTED ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• After you wash the asparagus thoroughly, stack a bunch together and lop off the tough/thick bottom an inch or so.
• Spread out the asparagus in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Pat it as dry as you can, as you don't want any water to "steam" the asparagus in the oven.
• Begin by generously drizzling olive oil all over the asparagus and then sprinkle the asparagus generously with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
• Roast the asparagus for about ten minutes. The secret here is for the oven to be very hot so the asparagus can begin to brown on the outside without overcooking and getting too flimsy. You want the finished asparagus to still have a bite to it. Enjoy!

GREEK-STYLE GRILLED ASPARAGUS SALAD WITH TOMATOES AND FETA

Steps:

• Turn the oven on to "Broil".
• Spread the asparagus out on a lined baking sheet and drizzle with the olive oil, then sprinkle with a little salt and freshly ground black pepper. Toss to coat and spread the asparagus out in a single layer. Roast for 6-8 minutes (depending on thickness) or until the asparagus is lightly browned, tossing once or twice. Remove from oven and set aside to cool. Once cooled, transfer to a cutting board and cut into 1-inch pieces.
• Place the asparagus, red onion and cherry tomatoes in a large mixing bowl.
• To prepare the vinaigrette, combine all ingredients and shake until emulsified.
• Pour the vinaigrette over the vegetables and gently toss to combine. Add the Feta cheese and very carefully stir to combine. Let sit for at least 30 minutes before serving. If serving later, refrigerate. Best served at room temperature.
• Serve as a side dish or as a light meal with some good crusty bread.
