Orange-Glazed Asparagus

I will make it again. I usually roast asparagus with lots of garlic. I liked this very much, but might try with some garlic next time just to try it!!

Nice, different way to serve asparagus. I liked the orange flavoring in this. This was served with ‘Simple Carnitas’ and ‘Peppered Cilantro Rice’. This vegetable worked very nicely with the meal and I would make it again.

I love asparagus, but this wasn’t my favorite. My husband and daughter ate it, so it was OK. I’m glad I didn’t add the orange zest, I thought the orange flavor was way too strong with just the o.j.

Really good!! The texture of the asparagus was perfect. My 3year old even liked it. Only gave it four stars b/c it did not have much orange flavor with juice alone. Will add the zest next time, should not be optional. Went great with my baja chicken!!!

Didn’t care for the orange flavoring

Great recipe -I used frozen orange juice concentrate and added cashews. Amazing, loved by everyone!

I thought this was pretty good but it could use some more spices. I opted out of the zest since my husband generally does not prefer the texture, however, if I make this again I will include it. There was not enough orange flavor to suit me.

These were really good as written. The only change I made was to use tangerine juice and zest. I also threw in some fresh tangerine slices during the last minute which was a hit.

I was looking for a side to have with my baja chicken and this was even better than it sounds. I followed the directions exactly and it was really easy to pull together and totally yummy!

To me it was a little salty. Will try again but with less salt..

I thought this was good. As another reviewer questioned…how much is a bunch? I know at the supermarket the asparagus is normally sold in bunches, but I don’t know if they are “bunched” in any uniform way. Anyway, I did cut the recipe down to only two servings but did add a little extra orange juice and zest. The orange adds a nice tangy zip to it. The sauce never thickened up so I just poured it over and enjoyed.

Refreshing.

Not being sure how much a “bunch” would be (at my store it’s sold in 1-pound bundles) I took a pound bundle to be a “bunch”. It wasn’t. One pound seems to me to be approximately 3 bunches, because I divided the servings down to 3 and thought I’d have liked to have tripled the sauce 🙂 This was good, but not great. I prefer the admittedly less healthy recipes using butter and/or Parmesan. Thanks for the recipe though, it *was* good 🙂

I didn’t realize I was out of EVOO, so I used some half EVOO/Canola oil mixture I found in the cupboards. The glaze didn’t thicken for me even after 5 or 6 minutes, so I just gave up and poured what I had over the asparagus. It steamed nicely, but I didn’t notice that much orange flavor. My grandma and little sister loved the consistency of the asparagus, but only my grandma commented about the “extra dimension” of flavor that the orange added. I wasn’t sure if she was just saying that to be nice because she knew how I made it, or if she just noticed it the most because she got the first serving of asparagus and the orange didn’t saturate to the bottom of the asparagus pile. I’ll probably try making it again with pure EVOO and soak the asparagus in the orange juice for a bit before cooking it.

My 9 yr old LOVED it. That alone should sell anyone. I actually let the asparagus soak in the orange juice for an hour or so before cooking. There is NOT an overpowering orange flavor. I liked it but didnt love it. I will make it again. Anything green the kids will eat!

I was a little skeptical at first about how the citrus flavor would combine with the asparagus taste, but it was really yummy after it sat in the juices for a bit. Definitely a keeper!

This has a very nice sweetish flavor that’s quite different from typical asparagus recipes and it’s very refreshing. The zest definitely adds flavor to the glaze and I would highly recommend adding it. I would add a little bit of spice to make the final flavor profile more interesting. Otherwise it tends to be a little too sweet (hence one star less). I would recommend adding some mild paprika or chili flakes and some cumin powder to increase the flavor.

I love Asparagus and usually only steam it crisp. I tried this recipe as I had people over and wanted something more impressive. I didn’t like the bitter taste of the orange peel, I think it would taste better without the last step. Might make it again without the peel.

Although I ended up overcooking the asparagus, this recipe was fabulous! I love the idea to use orange juice to create a delicious glaze for an already tasty veggie. Everyone at the dinner party thought it was a great new way to play with flavors and create a wonderful side dish…and in such a short amount of time!

This was very good…will definately make again!

I love asparagus, but I hated this recipe. So did my dinner guests!
