…Excellence in simplicity! Oven Roasted Asparagus shows off these tender, crisp spears to perfection!
While Asparagus is available year round, Spring is when it is best! The flavor is bright and clean with earthy undertones and is very mild when the spears are fresh.
One of my favorite ways to prepare vegetables is to roast them. The flavor and texture of vegetables roasted in the oven or on the grill may surprise even a picky eater. The combinations are endless like Fresh Roasted Green Beans with Bacon and Shallots, Roasted Brussels Spouts, and even Pumpkin with Crispy Sage and Brown Butter. Best part, the preparation is so incredibly simple! And have you tried more non-traditional roasted vegetable choices like Roasted Butternut Squash or Roasted Sweet Mashed Potatoes? I’m telling you, Roasting can elevate and improve on a vegetable’s taste and texture in the most unexpected and delightful ways! Don’t be surprised if you discover a new favorite!

…Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Bacon and Shallots have officially become my family’s favorite way to eat Brussels Sprouts!
Brussels sprouts have been a common side in our vegetable line-up for several years. While I would say that with a food-obsessed Mom, my kids have very exposed food pallets and love a lot of crazy things, my youngest two children at 5 and 9 years old still have some typical hangups about certain vegetables, but not Brussels Sprouts. We’ve cooked them numerous ways, but roasted tends to be the family favorite. Roasting the Brussels sweetens and caramelizes them in such a way that all three of my children will eat them and then ask for seconds!
That being said, last night’s version was by far a winner. This one-pan wonder combines crispy, smokey Bacon with sweet, caramelized Shallots mixed with slightly salty, roasted Brussels Sprouts to create a perfect symphony of flavor. And it’s so easy!
