Kitchen Stories: Asparagus Snack

Howdy, friends!
It’s time for a veggie chat!
I have no shame in admitting this: I absolutely love Asparagus!
If the day comes when I’ll have to pick only one veggie to live on- I will hands down pick this king of nutrition! I usually cook them as a side with salmon or meat, but I recently got into healthy snack alternatives and enjoying asparagus on their own is just the best. Make some delicious sauce and you’re good to go!

So basically, all you have to do is just pre-boil your asparagus, so they get a bit softer. You will then have to take your cooking tray and add some olive oil, salt, pepper, unpeeled garlic cloves and some lemons. Place all of this into the oven for about 15-20mins, until asparagus get all nice and crispy.

Set them aside. We’ll make a quick sauce now!

You should now have a lovely mix of flavours in your cooking tray. take off the garlic gloves, get garlic press and get that nicely cooked garlic into lemony olive oil. squeeze the remaining juice out of those lemons as well. now mix everything together in the tray, add some extra olive oil if you wish. get a small bowl and pour everything in it. add a spoon or two of sour cream/soya cream/greek yogurt and mix it very well. you might want to add some extra salt and peppers too, but it’s not necessary!

Here you go! You get a perfectly healthy snack/side without any effort, enjoy! Maybe watch a movie with it too! ;)
