Roasted with parmesan cheese, wrapped in bacon and roasted, and wrapped in store-bought crescent rolls and baked – Roasted Asparagus Three Ways are sure to please everyone.
It’s springtime and that means spring vegetables. And nothing says spring vegetable more than asparagus. Truth be told, I haven’t always been a fan of asparagus but that’s probably because I never had them cooked correctly. Roasted Asparagus Three Ways is the perfect way to please all the picky eaters because there’s something here for everyone:
- Roasted asparagus with olive oil and parmesan cheese.
- Store-bought crescent roll wrapped roasted asparagus.
- Bacon wrapped roasted asparagus.
Which one will be your favorite? I bet you said bacon! Actually, for me, I prefer the olive oil and parmesan version. I can tell you my daughter-in-law loves the bacon wrapped asparagus.
Here’s all the kitchen equipment you will need to make Roasted Asparagus Three Ways:
- Sharp knife to slice bacon and crescent rolls
- Cookie sheet or baking dish
- Parchment paper to line the cookie sheet or baking dish
- Cooling rack (this is actually optional)
If you don’t have a cooling rack but are interested in getting one, here’s the one I have:
Baker’s Secret Cooling Rack, 10″ X 16″
**Pro cooking tip: serve these the same day you make them, either hot or room temperature.**
