Oven Roasted Asparagus

"Can I have some more asparagus?"

That is something I don't think I've ever said before I tried this recipe. Asparagus has never been at the top of my veggies list, probably because I've never made it to where I actually enjoyed eating it. I am really enjoying trying (and re-trying) new vegetables and exploring their flavor profiles. Asparagus really surprised me this time! I watched a video recently where a girl made a veggie scramble for breakfast with roasted asparagus and sweet potatoes. Her plate looked so delicious, so I thought I would try it out for myself! It was so good! I roasted the asparagus and sweet potatoes, cooked some spinach in a pan, and fried an egg in coconut oil. I highly recommend it! Are there any vegetables you have tried recently that have pleasantly surprised you? Let me know!
