Why You’ll Love Roasted Garlic Asparagus and Mushrooms
- Asparagus and mushrooms are the perfect pair. Asparagus and mushrooms are each vegetables that are individually packed with flavour. But when you combine the two and add garlic in the mix, the flavour is on another level. The freshness of the asparagus complements the earthy mushrooms so well.
- It’s easy to make with just 6 ingredients. Is it hard to make something so delicious? Nope, not at all. I'm a big advocate on quick and easy recipes and this one is definitely on point. Simply combine asparagus, mushrooms, and garlic, toss in olive oil, season with salt and pepper and pop into the oven. In the meantime, you can prepare chicken breast or salmon to go along with it.
- A healthy side dish. If you are looking to incorporate more healthy meals to your weekly meal plan, this is it. It’s vegan, gluten-free, and keto too.
