How do you like your veggies? I love mine roasted. Broccoli, asparagus, brussels sprouts, pretty much any vegetable is good roasted. Normally I just put a little olive oil, salt and pepper on them, and put them in a hot oven for 15 minutes. They come out tender, slightly caramelized, and with so much flavor.
A couple weeks ago I received a package from Star Fine Foods with all sorts of their oils and balsamic vinegars. I was so excited to play around, I didn’t know where to begin. Finally, I decided to start simple. I used their Roasted Garlic Olive Oil over some asparagus. I first tasted the oil on a cracker to see how much flavor it had. It was the perfect balance of roasted garlic to olive oil; it wasn’t over powering at all. It was kind of hard to resist just sitting down with a box of crackers and the bottle of oil.
After roasting the asparagus, the oil gave it just a hit of garlic in the background. A great edition to my normally plain roasted asparagus. I also received a rosemary infused oil, which I can’t wait to use when roasting some potatoes.
Lucky for you, I am co-sponsoring a great giveaway with Star Fine Foods. Go HERE for your chance to win a STAR Cruet with a bottle of Star EVOO & Balsamic Vinegar!

I make this on the grill in summer; I add some balsamic to the marinade and it really is lovely.

I love my asparagus roasted. I think it is the best way to cook asparagus. And I have some garlic olive oil from trader joes- I have used it for Kale Chips but not on asparagus! Must try!
