Flavourful Roasted Asparagus

Springtime and Asparagus go hand in hand. When asparagus comes into season I am ready to enjoy it everyday. I absolutely love asparagus and I love playing around with spices and flavours to really jazz the asparagus up. Frankly, asparagus tastes great with just salt and butter but if you want to enjoy it as often as I do, it's great to try it new ways.

All you need is:

• 1 Bunch of Asparagus, cleaned and tough stalk trimmed away
• 1 Mini Sweet Pepper, chopped
• 1 Shallot, quartered
• 1 clove Garlic, crushed
• 1/2 Tsp. Red Pepper Flakes
• Salt & Pepper
• 1 1/2 Tbsp. Unsalted Butter, cubed

Preheat the oven to 400 F. Line a baking sheet with tinfoil and place the asparagus on the sheet. Drop the cubed butter, peppers, shallots, and garlic randomly on top of the asparagus. Season with a good amount of sea salt  pepper and the red pepper flakes. Wrap the tinfoil over the asparagus forming a sealed pouch.

Bake 10 minutes. Open the pouch and flip the asparagus, reseal the package and continue baking about 10 - 15 minutes until asparagus is tender.

You can discard the peppers, shallots, and garlic and transfer the asparagus to a serving dish or eat everything. It's all edible and it's all delicious!

ENJOY!
