Use Black Garlic Essence and Black Garlic Sea Salt for best results for this super easy + delicious asparagus recipe.

Do you prefer to roast or fry?

You can roast the asparagus in an oven preheated to 200C for 10 - 15 mins or fry it in a pan for a few minutes. Either method works.

Ingredients

Bunch of fresh asparagus
2 tsp Black Garlic Essence
1 tsp olive oil
2-3 tbsp finely diced spring onions or 1 clove crushed garlic
2-3 tsp lemon zest and a squeeze of juice (optional)
Black Garlic Sea Salt and pepper
Grated parmesan cheese (optional)

Directions

Prep the fresh asparagus by removing the hard woody base of the stems. Easiest way to do this is to grasp at the end of the stem and bend firmly - it will break where it needs to - above the woody bit!
Preheat the oven to 200C if you’re going to roast the asparagus.
Lightly coat the asparagus in olive oil. Lie in a pan for roasting. Put on baking paper for easy clean up.
Cover with the diced spring onions or fresh crushed garlic, lemon zest, and salt and pepper.
Put into the preheated oven for 10-15 mins at 200C, until tender (not too soft).
If you’re going to fry the asparagus instead of roasting, then use a quality oil in the pan then fry everything for a 4-6 minutes till the asparagus is slightly tender.
Remove and drizzle 100% Black Garlic Essence across it. Sprinkle some parmesan cheese across too, if desired.

Recipe Note

Delicious as a side dish for any meal.
