Oven Roasted Asparagus

Asparagus – high antioxidants, Spring Sprout!

Why incorporate Asparagus?

Asparagus is an amazing spring vegetable that I look forward to every year! The best time to eat it for freshness, and nutrients is April through June.

It helps your body detoxify!

A few quick facts about asparagus.

Thick or Thin?-Many people think that thin asparagus is younger and more tender and thick asparagus is older and tougher, But the opposite is true. Thin spears are usually from older or more closely spaced planted plants while thick spears are from young vibrant plants. Thin spears are also harvested in the second year of growth to stimulate growth. Asparagus can grow over 6 inches a day under optimal conditions and for upto 20 years…CUT ONE TO SEE THE THIN GREEN RING for yourself. ______________________________________________________________________

Helps Body Detoxify!

Good Antioxidants include Vitamin C, E,and A as well as the mineral: selenium
Has high levels of the MASTER ANTIOXIDANT called GLUTATHIONE which helps the liver function and removes toxins.
Asparagus help reduce diabetes, heart disease, inflammation and some cancers.

Asparagus is a Natural Diuretic that helps get rid of excess fluids in the body, and blood; therefore decreases blood volume and blood pressure. So instead of taking diuretics for blood pressure you can just eat lots of asparagus

Asparagus Regulates Blood Sugar with Folate (B9), fiber, and chromium.
BIOHACK ADVICE! So if you ever feel a sugar high and need to biohack your body – as in reduce your sugar high – eat something high in fiber, and even better is something with fiber and fat! So Asparagus with eggs is a great combination for blood sugar balancing. Or Asparagus with nuts like what I did below in the recipe.

How to store Asparagus

How to store asparagus:
1. put 1 inch of water in a container it can stand in with the elastic around it – then put in the fridge.
2. Wet a paper towel and wrap around and on the bottom of the stocks, put back in a bag or storage container.
How to cut it?
1. Some people snap asparagus where they break easily. This may cause some people to waste alot of the asparagus. I try to snap them near the end then cut the rest to that level.
2. In our recipe we simplified it and suggested just cutting off ½ to 1 inch
How to store after cooked?
1. Cool to room temperature and store in air-tight container in fridge for 3 to 4 days in the fridge.

Pair this with:

How to make this Asparagus fool proof?

Cut off the ends of the spears – that can be woody and fibrous. I break one asparagus that looks average in the group, then cut the rest the same length with the elastic still holding them together. That’s my quick method.

Depending on the thickness of the Asparagus – let them roast for a little longer if thicker.
