This starter or side dish is so easy to prepare, anyone can make it!
The other day I chatted to a friend and she mentioned that she never sees any vegetable dishes here on Greedy Gourmet. Uh oh. I knew she was right as I took on board the constructive criticism.
Lately I have been concentrating on jazzing up the protein part of our dinners and serving vegetables relatively straight forward on the side. But sometimes simple is best and I regularly prepare asparagus this way, which I thought I would share with you.

I’m a new convert to asparagus, I like chopping mine up and frying it in butter. See you tomorrow!
I love roasted asparagus! I especially love tossing in some garlic to roast along with it!
There are two things I loved.
I have hardly ever eaten asparagus, but I just loved the picture you showed.. I could do with tasting them one day.
Secondly – I completely identify with the caption: Always thinking of the next meal. That is so me!
Have a nice day.
I’m with Jessy on this one. It looks delish, but I’d throw in some garlic too. Nice site!
