Head to the produce aisle and you’ll probably find it overflowing with asparagus. It’s one of our favorite spring and early summer veggies because it is a great source of fiber and folate, low in calories, and packed with Vitamins A, C and K (which is essential for bone health). Asparagus can be blanched or roasted alone for a quick and easy side dish. It pairs so well with different flavors, too, which means it can also be the main ingredient of a main course. Pick up a bunch of asparagus and try one of these 10 easy asparagus recipes.
