Did someone say asparagus? Yum! I LOVE asparagus. It can tend to be a little bitter so if you add in the right ingredients to cut that down it is delicious!! With this oven roasted garlic Parmesan asparagus with lemon recipe you can master the flavors you find in the restaurants.

Also in comparison to some fresh veg that require cooking it is on the easier side.  I feel my taste buds reacting already…
