I think asparagus is one of those vegetables that you either love or hate. I personally love it! You can do so much with asparagus – I even eat it raw as a snack. Today’s recipe has some Asian flavor and flair. There are only a few ingredients and it just take minutes to prepare the tasty dish. Win-Win in my opinion…and it is Weight Watcher friendly!
Sesame oil and soy sauce…
If you are following Weight Watchers: each serving is one point. If you add the Romano cheese add points accordingly. In my recipe I added an extra point for the cheese that I had on hand.
Ingredients
- 1 pound uncooked asparagus, trimmed
- 1 tsp ginger root, freshly grated
- 1 garlic clove, minced (I use more)
- 1 tsp soy sauce
- 2 tsp toasted sesame oil
Instructions
Heat broiler. Combine ginger, garlic, sesame oil and soy sauce in a small bowl.
Lay out asparagus on a sheet pan. Coat the asparagus with the ginger and garlic mixture.
Broil until asparagus are cooked through - about 5-7 minutes.
I like to finish off this dish with some grated Pecorino Romano cheese and a drizzle of fresh lemon juice.

…and coat with the ginger mixture. Broil for 5-7 minutes.
I personally added a bit of grated Romano cheese and fresh lemon juice.
This is so delicious. I especially love how low in Weight Watchers points this dish is, but it is loaded with layers of flavor. Another bonus is how quickly you can put this together – about 11 minutes total.
Enjoy…let us know what you think 🙂
