Staples and Sides: Quick-Roasted Asparagus


     I always try to have a green vegetable prepared for every meal and this recipe is a frequent go-to. Not only is it delicious, but takes just minutes to prepare. Like other green vegetables, asparagus is packed full of vitamins and mineral like vitamins A, C, and K, folate, and iron.

 Quick-Roasted Asparagus
 
 1 bunch asparagus, rinsed, 
1/2 Tbs. Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper

1. Preheat oven to broil. 

2. Trim tough ends from asparagus and place on a rimmed cookie sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat well. Season with salt and pepper. 

3. Broil asparagus until bright green and tender, about 5 minutes. 

Tip: Keep a close eye on the asparagus to ensure it doesn't burn, it will cook quickly!
