Easy Oven Roasted Garlic Asparagus – a simple & delicious way to prepare & cook asparagus in just under 20 minutes.
This recipe is completely dedicated to my husband who loves asparagus and it is about the only vegetable he will eat. {Not kidding.} I was never a big fan as I didn’t grow up eating it mainly because it is so darn expensive. Well, let’s just say my husband has expensive taste when it comes to food.
When we got married and I quickly realized he wasn’t kidding when he said he never eats vegetables I knew I was going to have to start to serve a lot of asparagus and green salads with homemade ranch dressing. Otherwise Jake would live off well red meat. He does love shrimp and chicken thighs but if it weren’t for his high cholesterol I think he would eat a ribeye every night.
I have grown to love asparagus, especially if it is served with garlic and parmesan cheese. Our kids have a love-hate relationship with asparagus. They love that we typically serve it with cheese but they hate eating the tips. And this fact I can’t wrap my head around. We make them eat the entire thing, including the tips but all 4 out of 5 of them gag throughout the process.
