Lemon Roasted Asparagus

This is a healthy, light, easy and fresh asparagus recipe. Roasted spears are quickly tossed with perky ginger and tangy lemon juice. A red chili pepper finishes things off with heat and more flavor. If you're in the mood, a sprinkle of sesame seeds adds warmth and crunch. This dish is wonderful in warm weather and springtime. It's good hot, cold or at room temperature.

Citrus Roasted Asparagus With Parmesan & Pine Nuts

This asparagus recipe is good hot, warm or room temperature. Alongside some fluffy scrambled eggs, it's a nice brunch entree. The citrus adds sparkle. The toasted pine nuts give some crunch and warmth. A flurry of Parmesan is the perfect, salty finish. 

Sesame Asparagus Noodle Bowl

There's lots of fresh flavor and texture in this lightly-sauced and healthy noodle bowl. A combination of scallions, ginger and tender-crisp asparagus make it a great choice for springtime. Sesame oil seasons the chewy Chinese noodles with toasty notes. I like to serve sriracha sauce on the side for a bit of chili heat. It's great with a fried egg on top too.
