Roasted Asparagus Recipe {Whole30 + Keto}

Roasted Asparagus Recipe – my quick and easy, toddler approved go to side dish recipe for any busy night!

I’m a HUGE fan of asparagus. I love it and eat it as often as I can find it. It’s one of those simple sides that takes no effort, very little time and compliments just about any dish paired with. I’ve made it several times recently at family functions and had multiple requests for it to go up as a written recipe. It’s a super simple one but here you go guys!

Do I Need To Snap Off The Asparagus Stalks

This recipe calls for snapping the stalks and discarding the ends. I explain step by step instructions in the recipe below but I this may not seem necessary or even seem wasteful to some but the bottom ends of the stalks are very woody and stringy and neither I nor my daughter enjoy them so we snap them off. This step of coarse is optional if you know you like the ends. If you’re not sure I’d recommend leaving just a few on to try as testers and removing the rest.

Ingredients For This Roasted Asparagus Recipe

Asparagus, avocado oil, salt and pepper is all this recipe calls for. It’s simple and still flavor-packed. It’s the perfect throw together quick veggie side on busy evenings or an easy side dish that takes up little precious oven time and space on holidays! It’s a true winner. This simple dish is also whole30, paleo, keto, AIP and vegan.

Description

Roasted Asparagus Recipe – my quick and easy, toddler approved go to side dish recipe for any busy night!

---

Scale 1x2x3x

Ingredients

• 1 bunch of thin asparagus stalks
• 1/2 teaspoon avocado oil
• 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
• pinch/grind of freshly cracked black pepper (do not use pepper if doing AIP)

---

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
3. Snap the ends off each asparagus stalk to discard the “woody” ends. To do this, hold one end of the stalk in each hand and slowly bend the ends toward each other until the asparagus snaps. Most stalks should snap in about the same spot. Discard the ends and rinse and pat dry the top portion.
4. Place the stalks on your prepared baking sheet and drizzle with avocado oil then sprinkle with salt and pepper.
5. Toss to coat the stalks then arrange them evenly spaced on the baking sheet.
6. Bake for 12-15 minutes (depending on how firm you prefer your stalks) at 450 degrees. I prefer mine cooked the full 15 minutes so they are softer with a bit of crisp to the edges.
7. Once done, remove from the oven and sample a piece. Add more salt if needed.
8. Serve immediately with your favorite main course. Eat and enjoy!
