Here’s why asparagus is good for you.
Asparagus is a nutritious vegetable that is packed with health benefits. It is low in calories and high in fiber, which can help support healthy digestion and weight management. Asparagus is also a good source of antioxidants, which can help protect cells from damage caused by free radicals.
In addition to its high fiber content, asparagus is also a good source of important nutrients such as vitamins A, C, E, and K, as well as folate, iron, and calcium. These nutrients can help support overall health and well-being.
Asparagus is also a good source of prebiotics, which are non-digestible plant fibers that help feed the beneficial bacteria in the gut. This can support the growth of a healthy microbiome, which is important for overall digestive health.
Overall, asparagus is a nutritious and delicious addition to any diet, and it is especially well-suited to those looking to add more fiber, vitamins, and minerals to their meals.
BESTO Hot Honey Asian Glazed Asparagus
Ingredients
- 1 bunch asparagus trimmed
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- salt & pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp BESTO Hot Honey Original or Smoke flavor
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Place the asparagus in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Drizzle the olive oil over the asparagus and season with salt and pepper.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the hot honey, soy sauce, and garlic.
- Pour the hot honey mixture over the asparagus and toss to coat evenly.
- Roast the asparagus in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until tender and caramelized.
- Sprinkle the sesame seeds over the asparagus and serve hot.
Notes
- Choose fresh, thin asparagus for the best results. Thick asparagus may take longer to roast and may not be as tender.
- Make sure to trim the woody ends off the asparagus before roasting. To do this, hold the asparagus spear at each end and bend it gently until it snaps. This will allow the asparagus to cook evenly.
- Roast the asparagus for just the right amount of time. You want it to be tender, but not mushy. Aim for 8-10 minutes in a 400°F (200°C) oven.
- Don’t skip the sesame seeds! They add a nice crunch and a hint of nutty flavor to the dish.
- If you like your asparagus extra spicy, you can add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the glaze.
