Whole30 Oven-Roasted Asparagus

A big part of Whole30 is learning how to cook vegetables, so you want to eat them. Often people talk about having boiled asparagus as kid’s and have a deep hate for the vegetable. Well don’t worry, it wasn’t the asparagus you hate, it was just how it was prepared.

Whole30 Oven-Roasted Asparagus will give a fresh perspective to this misunderstood vegetable. By roasting it, the tips will become crispy with a fulfilling component for those who have given up carbs. The spices make a mouthwatering flavor that will have you begging for seconds.

I pair Whole30 Oven-Roasted Asparagus with all types of dishes. Most recently with Whole30 Breakfast for Dinner which gave a healthy component to my comfort filled meal after a failed 1st attempt at dinner.

Enjoy what I hope becomes one of your favorite vegetables!
