Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound asparagus
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 cup fresh sage leaves
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 4 cups arugula
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash and trim the woody ends off the asparagus. Spread the asparagus on a baking sheet and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sprinkle with kosher salt and black pepper.
Roast the asparagus in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
While the asparagus is roasting, prepare the fried sage leaves. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a small skillet over medium heat.
Add the sage leaves to the hot oil in small batches and fry until crisp, about 10-15 seconds per side. Use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, honey, and Dijon mustard. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
In a large salad bowl, combine the roasted asparagus and arugula. Drizzle with the lemon vinaigrette and toss to coat evenly.
Top the salad with fried sage leaves and grated Parmesan cheese.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Roasted Asparagus Salad with Fried Sage!
