The finished product: 14 oz of asparagus and 7 oz of Brussels sprouts yields 5 or 6 servings
This is easy. I use the same method to roast potatoes.
Cooking asparagus is a little tricky. Allrecipes.com has a short video you may find helpful. The thick end of the stalks can be woody, especially on the larger spears, so you need to cut them off or use a potato peeler to shave off some of the “wood.” Or just by the smaller spears.
The disposable foil just makes clean-up easier
Preheat the oven to 425° F.
Rinse off the veggies then let them dry. Brush with extra virgin olive oil then salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle with other herbs or spices if you wish. Layer them on a baking sheet covered with aluminum foil. Cook in the oven for 10–12 minutes.
It doesn’t seem fair to the other vegetables that we capitalize Brussels sprouts.
