Cajun Spiced Asparagus

I wasn't a huge fan of asparagus until I tried this recipe.  It is fighting its way up to be my number one favorite vegetable recipe.   I found the recipe on allrecipes.com it is called Superfast Asparagus.  It calls for a Cajun spice recipe which I found here.

So here is how I do it:

Cajun Spiced Asparagus

Asparagus

Cajun spice seasonings

Olive Oil

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.  Wash and snap the asparagus at the tender part of the stalk. Lay asparagus on a baking sheet.  Coat lightly with olive oil.  Sprinkle with the Cajun seasoning to liking.  Bake in the preheated oven until tender, about 10 minutes. 

Cajun Spice 

1/3 cup salt

1/4 cup chili powder

1/4 cup paprika

1 Tbsp. onion powder

1 Tbsp. coarsely ground black pepper

1 Tbsp. dried basil

1 Tbsp. dried oregano

1 Tbsp. ground coriander

1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper

2 tsp.s dried thyme

1/4 tsp. cumin

1/4 tsp. white pepper

Combine all ingredients and mix. 

 


Try to serve it as warm as possible.  I have found that it cools off really fast and it is super yummy when it is still warm.
