Roasted Brussel Sprouts

This is one of my favorites. Roasted brussel sprouts are definitely the way to go - steaming them will create a completely different experience.

1. Cut brussel sprouts in half
2. Preheat 400 degrees
3. Mix with olive oil and spices (garlic salt or powder, pepper, thyme/rosemary, basil & oregano)
4. Roast at 400 degrees for 25-35 minutes
5. Add cheese at the end (end of baking or after baking) - shredded parmesan or whatever type you like. Note that these are very tasty without cheese as well, the cheese can just add to the *yum.* 

Roasted Asparagus

I roast asparagus on a foil-covered pan in the oven most of the time. It's a tasty, quick, and simple addition to pretty much any meal. Let's get to it!

Asparagus should be washed and can be cut depending on what you prefer. I always cut or snap off the bottom (about an inch) - it should snap easily if you do it with your hands.

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
2. Sprinkle asparagus with olive oil and sea salt (you can also add pepper or garlic powder).
3. Roast in preheated oven until fork easily punctures thickest part of stem, about 12-15 minutes.
