Ingredients
  • 1 pound Asparagus
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 2-3 tablespoons Everything Bagel Seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash the asparagus thoroughly and snap off the tough ends. Pat dry with paper towels.

Seasoning the Asparagus

In a large bowl, toss the asparagus with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Then, generously sprinkle the everything bagel seasoning over the asparagus, ensuring it's evenly coated.

Roasting

Spread the asparagus in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast for 12-15 minutes, or until tender-crisp and lightly browned. The everything bagel seasoning should be fragrant.

Serving

Remove the asparagus from the oven and serve immediately. It's a fantastic accompaniment to grilled or baked fish. This side dish has a slightly nutty and savory flavor.

FAQ

  • Can I use a different seasoning?

    Yes! If you don't have everything bagel seasoning, try using sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried garlic, and dried onion flakes.
  • How do I store leftovers?

    Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving. Note that the asparagus may lose some of its crispness upon reheating.
  • Can I grill the asparagus instead of roasting?

    Yes, grilling is a great option! Toss the asparagus with the oil and seasoning as directed and grill over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until tender-crisp and slightly charred.
  • What type of fish goes best with this side dish?

    The savory flavor of everything bagel seasoning pairs particularly well with richer fish like salmon or tuna. It also complements white fish such as cod or haddock nicely.
