Roasted Asparagus with Lemon Vinaigrette.

This roasted asparagus is the perfect easy side dish for a holiday meal or a simple weeknight dinner. Drizzled with lemon vinaigrette and topped with crumbled feta, it’s full of flavor and comes together super fast!

We all need a super simple asparagus recipe!

This roasted asparagus is drizzled with a lemon vinaigrette and topped with creamy feta while warm, so it melts into each bite. I also throw some scallions on top and lots of fresh cracked black pepper. 

It’s simple, easy and complements just about any meal. 

And it’s great for a holiday side dish or an easy weeknight dinner side dish. It’s just… “regular.” 

That’s what my family loves to ask for when I make too many new recipes or I’m testing out a bunch of different things. 

“Can’t we just have a regular meal?” 

Well I’m happy to tell you that this is regular. 

It’s not exactly plain, but it’s plain enough. I love roasted asparagus with salt and pepper – that’s it. So adding just a few extra elements, a tangy vinaigrette and a crumbly feta cheese, is one way to elevate it and make it feel extra special. 

I even serve this over a bed of lettuce or with other vegetables sometimes. It’s flavorful but neutral enough to work with just about anything. 

Lately I’ve shared quite a few recipes with a lemon vinaigrette. I make variations on it all the time and once you know how to make it, it is incredibly versatile! It goes great on many salads, side dishes and even grilled meats. 

Plus, it’s another neutral flavor that is pleasing for most people. A little bit tangy, a little bit sweeter and generally easy on the palette. Not offensive, not too tart and makes vegetables taste better! 

I just love the roasty bits with the melty cheese. Right off the baking sheet, they are hard to resist.

Embarrassingly easy and ridiculously delish! The best kind of recipe. (more…)
