Asparagus is delicious!

One vegetable that I now enjoy that use to make me gag is..ASPARAGUS!  It's actually really good if you cook it right.  I'm sure most "normal" people would like it steamed or plain or some weird way, but I found a way to cook it so that it tastes super yummy for all the picky eaters!  Let's break it down:

1.  I like to find skinny ones because they cook faster and get more crunchy.  I like them to be extra crunchy.  If you don't, don't cook them as long.

2.  Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

3.  Rinse the asparagus and cut off the bottom part.



4.  Place them on a foil lined baking sheet.



5.  Drizzle with olive oil (or any oil that you prefer).  I rub them around in the oil to make sure they are completely covered.  You don't have to use a ton of oil.  A little goes a long way.

6.  Sprinkle with whatever seasoning you want.  I used a salt free garlic and herb and then a little garlic salt.



7.  Place in oven and cook for 15-20 minutes.  It really depends how crunchy you want them and how thin they are.  I would check after 15 min and then put them back in for 5 minutes at a time.



8.  EAT!  I love them with a piece of grilled chicken.  I use the same seasonings on the chicken and cook it on the Foreman grill.  Delicious!



Bon Appetit!
