I love eating aparagus, but only if it is fresh. No, slimy, camo-green-colored spears for me! I have several ways that I like to prepare those tasty green stalks. Roasting is probably the most simple.
Ingredients
1 bundle fresh asparagus, trimmed
1/4 olive oil
2-3 cloves garlic, minced
salt and pepper
Preheat oven to 350. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Combine the olive oil and garlic in a large bowl. Toss the asparagus in the olive oil mixture. Spread the asparagus on the baking sheet in a single layer. Season with salt and pepper. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until you can smell the asparagus.
This is great paired with broiled fish for a healthy, light dinner. Enjoy!
