This roasted white asparagus dish, playfully known as skeletal fingers, offers a sophisticated and slightly eerie aesthetic perfect for seasonal entertaining. White asparagus has a delicate, milder flavour and softer texture than its green counterpart, making it a prized vegetable in European cookery. When roasted with plenty of garlic and a touch of olive oil, the spears take on a beautiful golden colour while remaining tender to the bite.
As a naturally vegan and gluten-free side dish, this recipe is an excellent addition to a healthy plant-based menu. The bright finish of fresh lemon juice and fragrant thyme leaves elevates the savoury notes of the garlic. Serve these elegant spears warm as a conversation-starting starter or as a nutritious accompaniment to a main course during the spring or autumn months.
