Ingredients
Ingredients
  • 1 large bunch of asparagus
  • 1 tbsp. olive or avocado oil
  • 1 tsp. garlic powder
  • ½ tsp. onion powder
  • 1 tsp. dried dill
  • sea salt to taste
  • ½ lemon juiced
  • 2 tbsp. shredded parmesan optional
  • 1 tbsp. toasted sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, or pine nuts. optional
Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400F and line a baking sheet with unbleached parchment paper.
  2. Take a piece of asparagus and hold it lightly by either end. Wiggle it up and down until the woody part at the end snaps off. This is a little more time consuming than just chopping off the ends, but it ensures you get all the tough parts off and don’t waste any of your precious asparagus!
  3. You can either leave the asparagus whole or cut it into thirds lengthwise.

  4. Place in a large mixing bowl and sprinkle with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, dill, and sea salt.

  5. Mix with hands until thoroughly coated then spread evenly across the baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 10 minutes.

  7. Remove the asparagus from the oven and sprinkle with Parmesan then set back in for another minute or two. If edges are turning brown and crispy while middle is bright green, you’re ready to go! If they’re not quite there pop ‘em back in for another couple minutes.

  8. Remove from oven and immediately squeeze lemon over top, stirring to coat thoroughly (you may want some extra lemon juice for an extra tang. Consider the ½ lemon a starting point!)
  9. Top with seed of choice and serve!
