Ingredients

  • ½ pound asparagus spears
  • 1 large head of cauliflower
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • pinch sea salt
  • pinch ground pepper
  • 1 lemon, sliced

Instructions 

  • First, preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Lined a ridged baking pan with parchment paper.
  • Slice white ends off asparagus. Cut cauliflower into 1 inch florets.
  • Lay veggies on lined baking pan. Drizzle with olive oil and garlic. Sprinkle sea salt and pepper on top. Use your hands to mix everything together.

Notes

  • Asparagus size varies greatly.  If using thin asparagus, the 25 minute cooking time is great.  If using extra thick, add 5 to 10 minutes of baking time.
  • Frozen veggies can be used.  Thaw to room temperature before arranging on baking pan.
  • Cook until veggies are fork tender.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
