ASPARAGUS SIDE

Asparagus is one of the few vegetables that my kids love so we cook it all the time for dinner around here. This one has a little kick to make it unique.

HOW TO COOK ASPARAGUS

There are different ways to cook asparagus. In this recipe, the asparagus is sauteed in a pan until tender. That’s usually the way I cook them because it’s fast. 

For a different version you can roast the asparagus. It gives it a different flavor. I usually toss in olive oil and roast for 12-15 minutes at 400 degrees until tender.
