Happy Earth Day!!! Asparagus is in season and on sale!!! I love asparagus simply roasted or sauteed with sea salt. The one downfall...why does it have to make your pee smell immediately?? Did you know you either have the gene or not that allows you the pleasure ofsmelling it? I thought the gene determined if the pee actually smelled, but apparently everyone's smells. Who knew?
Enough about that!!! Here is a little twist on roasting asparagus if you're looking for a new way to fix it! I made this about 6 months ago and am just getting around to posting it...I like creating and posting baked goods so much more!
