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!

Leza says
I always buy asparagus and never know what to do with it and it ends up in the trash. I found your recipe and it looked simple and delicious(We like feta). I tried it last night and it was delicious! My husband and I were ready to lick our plates!
The only changes I made were that I used a bigger saucepan so that I could dip the asparagus in there easier and coat it that way versus drizzle it on the asparagus. I also increased the feta measurement.
Kathleen says
So glad you enjoyed Leza!

I found this recipe several months ago and my husband requests it at least once a week! It is his favorite asparagus recipe I make.
Kathleen says

Thank you for sourcing my recipe back to food.com. Many people just disrespectfully take and call it their own even if they just change a few words around. I am happy you like the recipe! And thanks again for being honest. It is so rare these days. ~Sue
