Charred Seasoned Asparagus

Charred Seasoned Asparagus

This was so fun to create. It is such a beautiful side, perfect for a special dinner or for a nice night at home.

What you need:

1 bundle of thicker asparagus

Lemon Pepper Seasoning

Olive Oil

Fresh Mozzarella

Cherry Tomatoes

Balsamic Glaze

Salt and Pepper

Micro Greens or Basil for topping

Directions:

Cut cherry tomatoes in half, and cut the mozzarella into small slivers, and lightly salt and pepper all of it

In a cast iron skillet - I used a ribbed one - heat on high heat (if you don’t have one you can use a normal skillet)

Drizzle olive oil generously on the pan, and also add a little bit of lemon pepper seasoning to the pan

Lay asparagus down one by one once the skillet is hot, and then add more seasoning and olive oil

Cook the asparagus until it begins to char and then flip over to char the other side - only cook for about 7 minutes to keep the asparagus crisp and not soggy

Remove asparagus and lay on serving dish

Quickly sear the mozzarella and tomatoes on the skillet and then top the asparagus with mozzarella, and then the tomatoes

Drizzle balsamic reduction over the top, and add basil or micro greens to finish

Serve and enjoy!
