Oven-Roasted Asparagus

We need more GREEN in our Thanksgiving arsenal viagra kaufen, and this is one of the most ridiculously simple vegetable dishes in existence. Roasting is my favorite method for cooking many vegetables, not the least of which is the glorious, green asparagus. First of all, preparing the asparagus is as easy as pie. Second, roasting is much more flavorful than steaming. Third, it’s a last-minute dish that can go from fridge to platter in around twelve minutes. Fourth, it can be served on its own or used in any number of side dishes or salads.

Who in tarnation can argue with that?
