Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Asparagus

Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Asparagus

• 2 cups Brussels sprouts cut in half and quick blanch
• 2 cups asparagus cut into 3 inch pieces
• 1 red bell pepper sliced
• 1 zucchini large julienne cut
• 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
• salt and pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 350. Toss Brussels sprouts, asparagus, bell pepper, and zucchini with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Roast on top shelf of oven for 25 minutes or until golden in colour. Make sure to blanch Brussels sprouts, this will make sure they cook evenly with the other vegetables. Try adding parsnips, carrots, pearl onions or shallots to kick it up a notch. Let me know how they come out.

Grilled Asparagus

In my opinion there is no better way to eat asparagus other than throwing it on the grill. Whether it's on your outside grill or a Foreman. Asparagus takes on a nutty savory flavor when grilled. Makes a great vegetable for all occasion and what a way to impress your family and friends. Enjoy!

• salt and pepper to taste

Toss asparagus with olive oil in large bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Make sure your grill is very hot, you want to cook the outer part fast so that the inside stays al dente. Grill for 4 to 5 minutes or until nice grill marks appear.
