Perfect Oven Roasted Asparagus
Asparagus is so yummy and I’m so happy to see beautiful fresh asparagus coming into my local grocery store. One of my favorite ways to prepare asparagus is to toss it in olive oil, sprinkle it with salt and pepper and roast it to perfection in the oven.
The recipe and directions are so simple and bring out the natural delicious flavor of the asparagus without any fancy frills.
