Grilled Asparagus with Roasted Garlic Vinaigrette.
Now don’t go getting your panties all in a twist.
I didn’t eat vegetables twice this week.
I made this asparagus one Saturday night while Mr. How Sweet and I were lounging around.
And when I say ‘lounging around,’ I really mean laying on the couch by 4pm with nothing planned because we are so old and boring. We’d fit right in at an early bird special.
I can eat most veggies if they are slathered in roasted garlic.
And of course, I can eat them when covered in cheese and bacon. But I want Mr. How Sweet to still be able to fit his arms around me.
I think I’ve mentioned before that I roast a few heads of garlic each weekend.
They go with everything.
Specifically – warm, toasty bread.
But they also go with veggies, I suppose.
The vinegarette is slight sweet, yet tart.
And it is as smooth as butter from the garlic and olive oil.

Don’t worry. I haven’t ventured to the dark side yet.
I still prefer to keep my vegetable consumption to never once a week.

It’ll be twice a week soon enough, darlin! I’m sure of it.
Yum! I love Giada so much! And, I love roasted garlic. I’m kinda a freak about it actually. Take some brie, pop it in the microwave, pour some pesto over it with roasted garlic and slather it over some crackers = Heaven.
Mmmmm…LOVE roasted garlic. Your asparagus looks much better than my asparagus soup FAIL from last week! :-)
I just bought some asparagus and needed a new way to devour them so THANK YOU :) the way you made them look sooooo good! Love your blog girl!
I’m hoping the asparagus starts showing up in our local grocery stores soon…It’s always the first sign of spring!
That roasted garlic looks insanely good. I want to leap through my computer screen and eat it. I suppose a more logical solution would be to roast some of my own…
Love asparagus! I bought tons of garlic this weekend just so I could roast some, I’m also attempting to make your pizza crust this weekend.
Dave and I will join you for that Early Bird Special!!! (if they are serving this!)
*feels your forehead*
Veggies? Even posting about them twice is huge progress! :) Love you!
Saw your profile on food buzz…great job with your blog. I will be following you here. Have a great day!
that looks so awesome.. delish!!!
YUMMMMMMMY! I love asparagus and sweet roasted garlic. I am definitely making this. :D

I love asparagus!! This looks so good!! The only thing about asparagus is it makes my pee smell funny.
Asparagus is one of my fav foods of all time, I MUST give this a try. Thanks for sharing.
I have a similar recipe for this, except I don’t use honey, and use lemon juice and feta cheese. I can’t wait to try yours!
Giada has some of the best recipes!! Glad she inspired this beautiful dish. I love balsamic with veggies- a perfect little sweetness.
I love asparagus!!! It grows locally, and I always pick some up at the farmer’s market in the summer.
I love asparagus! I am usually boring and just steam them but this sounds much tastier :)
Mmm, that sounds really good – I have yet to roast garlic..I think I’m scared that I will just end up with a lump of charcoal where a garlic head once was. haha
hahah. i loved the opener to this post. the asparagus and roasted garlic bulbs look awesome. one of my favorite appetizers is roasted garlic at a german restaurant i go to. have a great weekend!
The asparagus looks wonderful! Its one of my favorite vegetables! My husband doesn’t like it so I don’t fix it as often as I would like. I bet he would eat it with lots of cheese and bacon though :).
Looks great and super green which is super good. I wish I could do more asparagus, but as a kid my grandpa grew it out back and we had to pick it and ate it every week, so I think I got burnt out on it early on cause I never really liked it as a small child. It looks so pretty though.
A perfect combination: garlic and asparagus. Love it!
That asparagus looks fabbbbbulous!!! mmmmm
I dont think we can be bff’s anymore b/c i HATE garlic. Ppl are like oh, but if you roast it, it’s sweet and not garlicky. Yea right. As they are detoxing their garlic fumes next to me in yoga. I have always had an incredible nose and that’s just one of those aromas that is too strong for me! Love you honey!!!!!!

I looove asparagus. It’s one of my favorite veggies.
I had a dream about you last night, lol, how creepy is that?!!?
Asparagus is one of my favorite veggies! I love how the tips absorb whatever sauce you cook them in. Must be fabulous with roasted garlic! :)
Omg- your roasted garlic looks absolutely incredible- I want to make that ASAP- garlic makes everything a million times better ;)
Love it! Roasted garlic tastes like buttah! Thanks for posting this recipe- fabulous as always. I can’t wait to try this once we get a new grill!
Also, thanks for answering all my questions the other day- you are immensely helpful!
i’ve made that vinaigrette before…SO good! i am definitely a fan of the tartness, although it did surprise me at first. i didn’t have it paired with asparagus though! sounds heavenly, and i am now off to roast some garlic!
i love grilled asparagus – it’s the best!
Somehow I missed 2 posts from you! I have been mia from the computer! I love asparagus and am excited you liked it :)
Love roasted garlic…love asparagus! I usually just do S&P and oil. Love the vinegarette idea!
I’ve never seen such brilliantly fresh asparagus. My, oh my! Are you sure you don’t like veggies? Because you sure as hell can cook them right!
Now I’m craving some asparagus at 12:45am! I can’t wait for fresh asparagus this spring… It’s one of my favorite veggies. I have actually never made it with roasted garlic, and that sounds wonderful.
Pheww, I was worried about you there for a second.
You guys sound so much like Nick and I. We are often times sitting around doing nothing on Saturdays nights. Loving every moment of it. Doing nothing is so fun after long weeks of doing way too much and not stopping to breath.
Love Giada. This recipe sounds great. The garlic picture is what sold me.
This is a must for my next family dinner… looks fantastic Jessica!
asparagus are one of my FAVORITE veggies…I’m always in need of a new way to season it though. And also, I’m right there with you on the early bird special, I love early dinners, followed by early bedtimes ;)
Roasted garlic sounds good (although I have never tried it). I can imagine the aroma in the house! Yum!
Isn’t asparagus the best thing that comes with spring? I love it. I just started an online cooking show, Swedish Home Cooking, please check it out!
LOVE the roast garlic. It makes everything better. Perfect combo with the asparagus!

Is this a dressing or can you grill the asparagus coated in it
