ROASTED ASPARAGUS AND CHERRY TOMATOES
This side dish is one of my favorites and I typically make this when asparagus goes on sale. Asparagus is in season and at its peak from February to June with April being its peak season, and you will more than likely find the best sales during this time. Take advantage of the incredible nutritional health benefits that asparagus has to offer in addition to is peak flavor and sale prices during these months.
The asparagus may be the star of the show in this recipe, however there are other important ingredients in this dish that make this dish a powerhouse of nutrients, such as the tomatoes, lemon and garlic, all equally serving our immune systems and over health and well-being.
Recipe
Asparagus
Cherry or grape tomatoes
Lemon
Minced garlic
Salt and Pepper
Olive oil
Directions
Place asparagus into a baking sheet. Place tomatoes into pan. I like to place them on top of the stems to keep them moist and to prevent them from burning. Next place minced garlic over vegetables. Squeeze the juice of 1/2 of lemon (more or less if you like) and drizzle olive oil over the vegetables. Salt and pepper. Bake at 375 degrees for about 20 minutes or until tender.
