Roasted Asparagus
Spring has sprung, and asparagus is in full bloom! Asparagus is wonderfully rich in a variety of flavonoids and phenolic acids that are helpful in cardiovascular function. They also are an excellent source of Vitamin K which is important for healthy blood clotting and synthesizing proteins for healthy bones and a a strong immune system.
Roast your asparagus and serve in multiple ways this week - as a side with fish/chicken, chopped up and added to scrambled eggs or thrown into a quinoa or cous cous salad. YUM - enjoy y'all!
