Easter brings a change of course for me. Even if the weather is not cooperating, Easter Sunday means a springtime meal for my family: fresh flavors and the best of what spring had to offer. Asparagus is the first vegetable I usually harvest from the garden. And if Easter happens to fall early or the weather stays cool, grocers usually have it available. I think many have a bad view of soggy and limp asparagus, but if roasted it remains perfectly crisp, tender, and has great flavor!

This is such a simple and delicious spring side dish!
