Easy Recipes From The Garden

It’s not Spring to me until I begin to see the stalks of asparagus poking out of the dirt in my garden. It has finally begun to break through the earth, and yesterday we had enough to actually cook it as a side dish.

Asparagus’ fresh and distinctive flavor is best preserved as is, with little added flavor or heavy sauces. For a fresh and simple way to prepare asparagus try this:

Wash and cut stalks into three-inch pieces.

Scatter in a baking sheet and top with one-inch strips of bacon (turkey bacon or regular bacon each work well)

Roast in a 425-degree oven for about 20 minutes, or until asparagus is to desired texture.

The bacon adds extra flavor and coats the veggie with a light sauce, softening it and making it absolutely delicious.
