About Baked asparagus
Baked asparagus is a simple yet flavorful dish often enjoyed in Western cuisine, particularly as a side in American and European meals. This nutrient-rich recipe features fresh asparagus spears coated lightly with olive oil, seasoned with salt, pepper, and optional herbs like garlic or lemon zest, then roasted to perfection in the oven. Low in calories but high in fiber, vitamins A, C, E, and K, as well as folate, this dish supports immune health, bone strength, and digestion. Olive oil adds heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, while roasting enhances the natural sweetness and tender crunch of asparagus. It’s a great choice for gluten-free, vegetarian, or keto diets. However, excess oil or sodium-heavy toppings can impact its overall healthfulness, so moderate seasoning is key to keeping it light and nutritious. Baked asparagus combines simplicity and nourishment, making it a versatile addition to any meal.
