Spice profile: aleppo pepper, ancho and pasitals, paprika, onion, garlic, black and green peppercorns, sumac, marjoram, thyme, coriander, rosemary, salt

Ingredients:

  • About 1 lb fresh asparagus

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 2 teaspoons Stock+Spice Sumac and Friends Seasoning

Instructions:

  1. Prep the Asparagus

    Rinse the asparagus and snap off the tough ends - they’ll naturally break right where the stems become tender.

  2. Season

    Place the asparagus in a baking dish. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil and 2 teaspoons Stock+Spice Sumac and Friends seasoning. Toss well to coat evenly.

  3. Roast

    Spread the asparagus onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast in a 400°F oven for 10 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.

  4. Serve

    Remove from the oven and serve immediately.

Enjoy this simple, bright spring dish!
