Simple Seasoning for Almost Any Veggie

One of my go-to vegetable preps is very easy and can be done to almost anything.  Great example.  I’m home tonight, kind of hungry.  Had sweet green for a late lunch.  I’m feeling a pang, but don’t want to go too crazy.  I noticed I had some asparagus to use up, and a red pepper too, so I figured I’d roast them.  The pepper went undressed but here’s the go-to dressing, it went on the asparagus:

ghee

lemon Juice

garlic

sea salt

black pepper

Not to sound obnoxious, but I always keep pressed lemon juice around.  It’s just so much better than buying or hand squeezing lemon juice.  The rind makes all the difference.

My microplane is a savior.  Especially in such a small kitchen.  I find it’s a really grate(haha) way to have essentially minced garlic in seconds, with little clean up.

The sea salt and black pepper get sprinkled on.

For this roasting, I preheated the oven to 350F.  Once the oven was hot, I turned it to broil and put the baking sheet on slightly above the middle.  I checked on it every 10 minutes.  

I got hungry and did the same thing with broccoli.  Took about the same time.
