Perfect Roasted Asparagus

Or as my 4-year old likes to call it, Spa-garagus. I think he secretly wishes we were eating spaghetti everytime spa-garagus lands on the menu. Asparagus is the quintessential spring vegetable and I happen to be a lover of the tender, green stalk. One of my favorite ways to prepare it is to simply roast it in the oven. Brushed with olive oil, sprinkled with coarse salt and black pepper and baked for hardly any time at all, this dish is a breeze and can be altered to your liking. Sprinkled with Parmesan cheese? Delicious. Served with lemon wedges? Wonderful. Drizzled with balsamic vinegar? Divine. I hope spa-garagus makes it to your table this spring. My son will be glad it’s your table and not ours (although I’ll be a mite jealous).
