Perfectly Roasted Asparagus – Clean+Delicious
Spring as technically sprung, although with temperatures hanging around in the 40′s it has still not officially arrived (at least not in my book).
But still and all, asparagus is in the house! And if you haven’t seen some fresh, local asparagus in your area yet, just hang in there because it’s on its way.
Now there are many ways you can make asparagus, but roasted asparagus is a favorite for me. The outside gets a little bit crisp and the inside is sweet and creamy, so delicious.
Just make sure that you buy medium to large asparagus stalks for roasting and save the super skinny stalks for a quick steam or enjoy them raw in a salad. The very skinny stalks don’t hold up as well to the high heat of roasting but the heartier stalks are to die for.
In the meantime, enjoy the play by play down in the video below.
