Ingredients
- 500 grams green asparagus
- 2 tablespoons white miso paste
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon honey (or maple syrup for vegan option)
- 1 teaspoon sriracha
- 1 clove garlic, finely grated
- 1 teaspoon ginger, finely grated
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
- 1 stalk green onions, sliced (optional for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Wash the green asparagus thoroughly and snap off the woody ends by bending the stalks gently until they naturally break. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
Step 3
In a medium bowl, prepare the marinade by whisking together the white miso paste, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey (or maple syrup), sriracha, grated garlic, and grated ginger until smooth.
Step 4
Place the asparagus spears into a large bowl and pour the marinade over them. Toss the asparagus gently to ensure all pieces are evenly coated. Let them marinate for 10 minutes if time allows.
Step 5
Spread the marinated asparagus in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they aren’t overcrowded.
Step 6
Roast the asparagus in the oven for 12–15 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until tender and slightly caramelized.
Step 7
Once cooked, transfer the asparagus to a serving platter and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds. Optionally, garnish with sliced green onions for added freshness and color.
Step 8
Serve immediately as a flavorful side dish or as a topping for rice bowls or salads.
