Asparagus was one of the veggies that I was most apprehensive about, but it’s become one of my favorites! Asparagus tastes amazing when you cook it right! Roasting it, grilling it, and seasoning it just right can all help make it that much tastier. Asparagus peaks in April which make it perfect for serving as a side dish for Easter, especially with a yummy dressing. This Roasted Asparagus with Turmeric Dressing is really transformed what I once thought was a meh vegetable into a delicious side dish!

This side dish is Paleo, AIP, Whole30, and it’s even vegan. Depending on who you’re inviting over for dinner, it’s perfect for sharing with those who eat a wide range of different diets.

The Ingredients

Asparagus

To pick good Asparagus, you want to find a bunch that’s really vibrantly green!  Store it in a mug of water and cover it with a bag to keep it fresh and crisp before you cook it.

Coconut oil or ghee

Coconut oil is the easiest to comply with a variety of diets, but ghee is another great option if you tolerate it. It gives the asparagus amazing flavor!

Lemon

Salt, garlic and pepper
