I know, I tend to roast a lot of vegetables with garlic. Roasted Garlic Asparagus is probably my all time favorite…unless you count broccoli. Make it with or without the lemon juice, both are delicious.
As a kid, my mom would add mustard to our asparagus, broccoli, cauliflower, or spinach to add a little zesty flavor and take away the bitterness and to get us to actually eat the stuff. She says that’s what her mom used to do. Adding lemon juice to this dish does the very same thing. I like it.
