I discovered that I loved asparagus years ago when it was wrapped in bacon and grilled. I mean, who wouldn’t love it! I learned how to roast it and it’s been our spring and summer go to veggie.
Roasting vegetables is a great cooking method because it brings out the deep flavor. You toss them in a little olive oil, sprinkle with seasons and place in a single layer in a baking dish or pan.
This asparagus would make a wonderful side dish for your Easter feast. You could even serve a little sauce over it.
