Roasted Asparagus with Whole Roasted Garlic Cloves



Simple recipe for spring to utilize the short window of asparagus season.

Pre-heat the oven to about 400 degrees while you prep the asparagus and garlic.

I like to cut just the ends off of asparagus and leave most of it in tact. Then I washed the spears, placing in a single layer on a baking sheet. I peeled one head of garlic and scattered the cloves throughout the asparagus. Drizzled olive oil and sea salt, mixing with my hands so everything was evenly coated. Pop in oven, 15-25 minutes until desired tenderness is reached.
