HAPPY ST. PATRICK’S DAY!
With today being the “Day O’ Green” I wanted to share with Y’all my most favorite green veggie…..ASPARAGUS!
I love asparagus! When this green veggie is in season I buy as much as I can get my hands on. And up until a few weeks ago I only prepared it one way~ steamed. However I can now say I have a new favorite way to prepare it! A good friend of mine was texting back and forth the other day when she sent me a picture of a pan full of asparagus she was having for dinner. We got to chatting and I told her I also loved asparagus. Jyl then shared with me her favorite way to prepare it. Since that day I have roasted bunches of asparagus….no more steaming for this gal. Give it a try and see what you think. Thank you Jyl for sharing!
Oven Roasted Asparagus
1 Bunch Fresh Asparagus
Olive Oil
Fresh Lemon Juice
Sea Salt / Cracked Black Pepper
Preheat oven to 400
Line a baking sheet with foil. After you snap the ends off of each asparagus stalk, lay in a single layer in the pan. Drizzle olive oil, ad lemon juice over top. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Bake for 15-25 minutes. (depending on if you like them more crunchy than soft) I usually cook mine for 20 minutes. Serve hot from the oven.
Hoping you have the LUCK OF THE IRISH today! ~ Lark
