Our Roasted Garlic Asparagus with Feta Is Tossed In A Garlic Lemon Marinade And Roasted To Caramelize Flavors In The Asparagus Then Topped With Feta!
When I find a really good, new recipe for veggies, I’m beyond happy. I’m elated! Finding cookie recipes or, say, a new cake recipe that I like, is always tremendously easy. I hardly even have to look for those kinds of new recipes and it seems I have half a dozen on a list to try!
Veggie recipes on the other hand, not so easy! Let’s face it most of us desperately need to eat more veggie and let me tell ya, I lead the pack on this issue! If you’re a regular reader to this blog you know I’ve mentioned this situation before! I struggle to eat my veggies!
Recipe Notes For Roasted Garlic Asparagus with Feta:
It’s important that all the asparagus gets well coated with the infused oil so make sure you toss it well and spread the garlic out a bit, don’t just pour it on top of the asparagus.
I toss the whole thing right on the baking sheet I’m going to use then straighten the asparagus out into a single layer.
You may need to use 2 baking sheets in order to get a single layer depending on the thickness of your asparagus.
You don’t want to crowd the asparagus or it won’t roast properly.
Also, if you’d like to lighten the dish up a bit, you can use a portion of the oil, say even half of it, not the entire amount. It will still be amazing!

Will try this recipe as a side dish for VIP guests in a few days. I’m confused about 2 things, though and want to be extra careful for best results😆:
1) the feta. In the description it implies it’s put on top after roasting, but in the recipe it says to sprinkle it over before roasting. So which should I do?
2) the nuts. It looks like walnuts on top, and one review said she would leave the walnuts out because of a nut allergy. But I see no nuts in the ingredients list. Are nuts a good idea? How would pistachios be?
Thanks so much in advance for your responses. The recipe looks amazing!

Fantastic recipe. It’s a favorite in our house. I’ve shifted to using lime for a different flavor and leave off the nuts bc we have a nut allergy in the house.
Yay! Thank you, Ivy! <3
