Tangy Roasted Asparagus

Just a bit of Worcestershire is all it takes to give zing to this side dish.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 4; 5 spears per serving

Ingredients

Cooking spray
1 pound asparagus spears (about 20), trimmed and patted dry
1 tablespoon light tub margarine
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (lowest sodium available)
1/8 teaspoon salt

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 425°F.

    Step 2

    Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Lightly spray the foil with cooking spray. Arrange the asparagus in a single layer on the foil. Lightly spray the asparagus with cooking spray.

    Step 3

    Roast for 10 minutes, or until just tender and beginning to brown lightly on the tips.

    Step 4

    In a small saucepan, stir together the remaining ingredients. Cook over medium heat for 1 minute, or just until the margarine melts. Stir. Drizzle over the asparagus. Gently roll the asparagus to coat.

  2. Cook’s Tip

    Step 5

    Be sure to pat the asparagus spears dry before placing them on the baking sheet. Otherwise they won’t roast, and the taste of the dish will be altered.
