Roasted asparagus is a quick and easy way to get goodness and greens into your keto diet. And rather than have them plain or bland you can add lots of flavourful goodness to the dish to make it a tasty delight.
This meal can be prepared so simply and quickly too. Just 10 minutes prep and 10 minutes cooking and you have a tasty, healthy vegetable filled meal or side ready to eat.
This is yet another keto diet meal that you can vary or adapt to your own taste with ease. Remove the bacon for vegetarian or to make quicker.
You may want to grill some cooking cheese on top rather than sprinkle parmesan. You could also add a dash of lemon juice. The options go on but the main point is getting in a whole meal that includes lots of healthy roasted asparagus.
