Roasted Asparagus with crispy bacon bits, shallots, and a Dijon mustard vinaigrette!
This recipe was a sneaky attempt at trying to get my kids to like asparagus. Sure they eat them, but it's usually because I'm telling them to have at least two!
If it was Brussels sprouts they'd be all over them, which doesn't make sense because...same color?? Anyway, there's no real secret apart from that addictive thing called bacon!
Yahhh, roasted asparagus covered with crispy bacon bits. And if that wasn't enough, a Dijon mustard and shallot vinaigrette can be drizzled over these perfectly roasted asparaguses to finally bring your kids or any other asparagus haters back on board with these awesome green sticks.
Roasting asparagus literally takes minutes because any longer and you'll end up with mushy and sad dark green veggies, and nobody wants that? Five minutes in the oven, a quick pan shuffle and then a few minutes more is all it takes to get the perfect asparagus that still has a tiny bit of a bite to them.
