My son used to love to eat kumquats, he would just pop them in his mouth like candy. So when I spied a half full container while preparing dinner last night, I though, how would roasted asparagus and kumquats taste. Read more ..surprisingly good is the answer. Roasting the kumquats brought out their natural sweetness and the citrus with the asparagus was a wonderful match. I think some toasted pine nuts would be a wonderful addition. See less
