| Roasted and ready to enjoy! |
Roasting is definitely my favorite way to prepare Asparagus! I've enjoyed this veggie for literally decades. Growing up next door to the town of Hadley in MA, Asparagus was always served at least 3 times a week in the Spring while the local Hadley crop was sold at the road side stands.
As time has moved on, I no longer boil the fresh stalks and serve with drizzled butter. That was how it was prepared before being placed on the dinner table- so many years ago. My "
go to" method these days is
roasting it. My Spice Rack comes in handy here!
The stalks are cut in half and combined with Olive Oil, Garlic Powder, Basil and Oregano before placing them on a cookie sheet.
Roast 12- 13 minutes in a 425°F oven. It's that quick! It's so yummy!
