Baked Asparagus Spears

One of our top favorite vegetable sides here at the Lopez-Sarraff residence is a nice big batch of Baked Asparagus Spears. The smell of them in the oven and the crispy fresh taste when they are done, it just gets us going. We don’t like to go to over-the-top with something as simple as baking asparagus. Simplicity is always best.

With a little bit of fresh sea salt, garlic and extra-virgin olive oil, you’ve got yourself the perfect accompaniment to your lunch or dinner. We love to serve Baked Asparagus Spears with a nice salmon fillet or maybe even some seared scallops. On days that even that seems too fancy, eating Baked Asparagus Spears with chicken will do, too. Just like we are having tonight for dinner {shhh…don’t tell her!}.
