Roasted Asparagus

INGREDIENTS

1 bunch of Asparagus (I prefer small asparagus over large ones)

1 Tablespoon of Olive Oil

A light sprinkle of M Salt Spice Blend (or light spinkle of garlic salt and pepper)

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat ove to 425 degrees

Wash asparagus and snap off the woody end. Place tender pieces in a single layer on a baking sheet and brush with oil. Lightly sprinkle spice blend over asparagus. Roast for 15-20 mins, rotating asparagus 1/2 way through to allow for even browning.

To snap off the woody end, bend the asparagus 1-2 inches from the bottom. Snap where the hard end meets the tender vegetable. (Tip: For less waste, cutting off the end and peeling the asparagus to determine where the wood ends prevents unintentional waste of the tender vegetable but is more time consuming. I also found that my dog loves to eat the woody ends of the asparagus)
