Roasted Asparagus Recipe
Its about that time of year where we are seeing fresh asparagus in the stores. I never was a huge fan until a few years ago. They are tasty and healthy… full of vitamins and minerals.
We have posted a few recipes with asparagus over the years..
I have a new recipe for you today. So simple but great if you want your asparagus to be a side dish. Its even a good basic beginning if you are using asparagus in any other recipe like our recipe for Rice Salad, an omelette, pasta, etc. For that reason, I am listing the garlic, lemon juice and Parmesan cheese as optional ingredients as they may not go with your final dish.
