Is asparagus a Superfood?

Asparagus is so good for you and is rich in vitamins and minerals like A, C, E, K, and B6, as well as folate, iron, copper, calcium, protein, and fiber.

How to Make Roasted Asparagus with Garlic

Rinse the asparagus and chop off the woody ends. Usually, the ends are a little purple-y — we want to keep the green only!

On a foil-lined baking sheet, lay the asparagus out in a single layer. Drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.

Next, add the garlic and toss the asparagus so all ingredients are well-distributed. You can do this with your hands or a spoon/spatula. 

Roast at 425F degrees until the “tree” ends are charred and asparagus is fragrant.
