Roasted Asparagus

Roasted asparagus!

It's spring. Asparagus is a special treat. LCC kiddos gobble this seasonal delicacy. Kids can help wash, cut, and coat asparagus in olive oil. Grilling is best left to the grown ups! Thankfully it needs 3 minutes of grilling before its green shade brightens and can still hold its crispiness. It is a fabulous side dish or quick snack.

Ingredients:
1 lb. asparagus
Olive oil
Salt

Instructions:

Wash and trim, breaking off the hard end and leaving the tender stalk.
Brush with salt and olive oil.
Cook on a grill (a pancake griddle works too!) for a few minutes or roast in a 400° oven 5-9 minutes until tender.

Enjoy!
