Baked Asparagus

Oops! I almost forgot that I promised to share the Baked Asparagus recipe from our Thanksgiving Feast. It's really simple but tastes wonderful. This is for the garlic lovers out there!

Baked Asparagus

2 bunches of fresh asparagus - snap off the tough ends by holding the spear by the cut end and snapping the top like a green bean. It will break in just the right place. You can use the ends for veggie stock.

2-3 cloves fresh garlic - chopped fine

Sea salt and course ground pepper

juice of one lemon

EVOO

Place garlic, asparagus and EVOO in a large baggie. Spinkle with sea salt and course black pepper. Marinate for 20 minutes.
Place in a single layer on a foil lined cookie sheet or shallow baking dish.
Squeeze lemon juice over top.
Drizzle generously with EVOO
Bake at 400° for 20 minutes.

This recipe is linked to Whole Foods for the Holidays hosted by The Nourishing Gourmet.

Love baked asparagus. I haven't put lemon juice on it before though, I will have to try that next spring when we go foraging for asparagus.

Herbs (including the concentrated essential oils created from them) can be helpful allies in creating and maintaining good health but they can also be powerful medications that should be treated with respect. Used improperly, they can cause adverse reactions or interfere with pharmaceuticals.
