Ingredients
- 1 lb white asparagus
- 1 tablespoon ghee melted
- 1/4 cup pine nuts
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese grated fresh and split
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Peel the white asparagus to remove the tough outer layer. Coat the peeled asparagus with the ghee.
- Lay the asparagus on the baking sheet in a single layer. Sprinkle with the salt and pepper.
- Roast in the oven for 10 minutes, then rotate. When rotating, drizzle the balsamic vinegar, add on the pine nuts and 1/2 of the Parmesan cheese.
- Continue roasting for another 5-7 minutes or until the asparagus is cooked through and golden.
- Remove from the oven, sprinkle on the remaining Parmesan and serve hot.
Notes
PLEASE NOTE: if you choose not to peel the white asparagus, it will be tough and stringy. Additionally, the hard exterior also has a tendency to give the asparagus a bitter flavor rather than the sweet, delicate flavor that you get when it is peeled properly.
