Asparagus is always a great choice if you are looking to add a little bit of green to your dinner. It’s a versatile vegetable that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways and it has tons of health benefits as well.
Our favorite way to enjoy asparagus is by roasting it in the oven. Here’s our favorite recipe to make your own delicious oven-roasted asparagus side dish!
Ingredients:
- 1 bunch of asparagus
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F.
- Next, start off by trimming the asparagus. This will remove unwanted and inedible pieces from the vegetable before you roast it.
- After you’ve done this, place the asparagus in a bowl and toss it to coat it with olive oil. Be sure all of the spears are evenly coated.
- After this, you’ll want to combine kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder in a small bowl. Take each individual asparagus spear and rub a generous dose of the mixture onto them. You can always make more if the quantities given don’t give you enough to coat all of them.
- Place the asparagus on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil.
- Finally, put the asparagus in the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until tender.
Enjoy!
