  • Summary

    There is no way to recreate my first bite of fresh springtime asparagus in Germany. But I can make grocery store asparagus taste pretty good by roasting it and adding a few extra ingredients. This is a very simple side dish recipe. Everything is cooked on one pan in the oven. It requires little attention but in the end the flavors certainly do pop and bang.

    Ingredients

    • 2 tbsp olive oil
    • 1 lemon cut into quarters
    • coarse sea salt
    • 24 ounces fingerling potatoes
    • 1 lb pencil-thin or slightly plumper asparagus, trimmed of lower stalks and cut into 2 inch lengths
    • 5 medium mint leaves, cut in a fine chiffonade
