Roasted Asparagus
I know so many people who struggle to integrate veggies into their dinner menus. It is so easy to go straight to steak and potatoes. This time of year it is easy to try new vegetables, since so much will be in season. Right now asparagus is in its prime, although you can generally get it any time of year. This recipe for roasted asparagus is the simplest way to get some veggies into your diet. It takes about 15 minutes total to prepare, and is a crowd pleaser.
Roasted Asparagus
1 bunch Asparagus
1 Tbsp Olive Oil
1/4 tsp Kosher Salt
1/4 tsp Pepper
Rinse, then cut the asparagus about 3 inches up the stock. The ends tend to be stringy and tough.
Line the asparagus on a sheet pan, in one layer. Drizzle with olive oil, season and coat.
Roast for 8-10 minutes at 375 degrees.

I have never seen aparagus look so beautiful in a picture! - you know - I love this recipe! Sometimes I make it a little jazzed up by adding parmesan cheese and balsamic vinegar right when it comes out of the oven - - -maybe more toward the fall - this one is so great for summer Thanks for sharing!

We love eating asparagus like this, and grilling it is great too. Just make sure you lay it the opposite way that the grill goes. If not it falls into the land of, never to return and see how long that lays in the grill land.
