Perfect Roasted Asparagus
The best meals aren’t overly complicated. Perfect Roasted Asparagus is simple, easy, and makes for a healthy side dish or complement to a full meal. We served ours with our chickpea quinoa pilaf which is also absolutely delicious, or you can add it to the side of a steak, fish, or other hearty vegetables.
Ingredients
Perfect Roasted Asparagus
- 1 count fresh asparagus, thick bottom stems removed
- 1-2 Tbs olive oil
- Generous pinch of salt and pepper
- 3-4 garlic cloves, minced

Directions
- Preheat the oven to 400ºF
- Then, prepare your asparagus by rinsing, drying, and chopping off the very thick bottom of the stalk.
- Next, transfer the asparagus to a roasting pan.
- Coat the asparagus with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Place in the oven and roast for 15-20 minutes.
- Add in the garlic (and capers) 5 minutes before the asparagus has finished cooking.

Flavor pairings could include thyme or paprika. As mentioned previously, this can be a side dish to a protein or served into a grain bowl.
