Roasted asparagus with orange vinaigrette is a great simple side dish you are going to love.

If you are in my house, there is a good chance my television is either on the Food Network or Cooking Channel. I keep it on that sometimes as background noise.

The other night I was editing some photos while my husband was in the other room. I had Cooking Channel on, and all of the sudden I look up…and there are Kelly Kapowski (Tiffani Thiessen) and Jessie Spano (Elizabeth Berkley) on my television (!!!). Any other Saved By the Bell fans in the house? 🙂

Apparently there is a new show called Dinner at Tiffani’s, and this girl really cooks! Like for reals.

One of the dishes she was making that particular night inspired this dish. Her recipe really gave me the idea of combining the flavors of asparagus and orange.

So I roasted up some asparagus with a little olive oil, granulated garlic, orange zest, salt and pepper. Honestly you could serve it as is just like this.

But I like the drizzle of a good sauce on top. So I am using one of my existing recipes that is slightly different than Tiffani’s – my orange sherry vinaigrette – in place of her orange glaze. And it works! The flavors compliment each other beautifully.
