Spring is the season for fresh veggies, including vibrant stalks of asparagus<\/a>. But there’s a fine line line between good-for-you-greens and the soggy stuff you find at the salad bar buffet. For a new twist on this veg, we roasted it\u00a0to perfection with garlic, feta and pistachios. The creamy feta texture complements\u00a0the crisp greens, while the crushed nuts add plenty of crunch. Bring this gluten-free<\/a> side dish to your next dinner party or add it into your weekly meal plan<\/a>. A good source of fiber, folate and vitamins A, C, E and K, this asparagus recipe\u00a0will add a boost of nutrients to whatever entree you choose (fish or chicken dishes pair great). Want more spice? Add an additional quarter teaspoon of red pepper flakes and dig in!<\/p>\n
