    Asparagus, A Great Spring Veggie

    Asparagus, A Great Spring Veggie

    Spring Veggies

    The recipe is simple, but absolutely delicious​, and a great preparation for kids to enjoy.​

    • 2 pounds fresh asparagus, medium thickness
    • Olive oil
    • Salt and Pepper, to taste
    Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

    Break off tough ends of asparagus.  Place on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil (it takes less that you would think). Toss to coat the asparagus completely. Spread asparagus out in a single layer on baking sheet and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast for about 25 minutes until tender-crisp.  

    Note: I’ve also ended this dish with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese or a drizzle of balsamic vinegar but found that I like the basic method the best.
