Yes, it’s 8am and it’s my bedtime. So, while all of you are having breakfast, waking up, or are already at work, I am just now coming home and getting around for bed. This is my life on the night shift.

Today I was super hungry as I left work. Since I had to stop by my favorite grocery store to pick up some tofu, I decided to pick out a healthy delicious bedtime snack. None of my usual snacks would do. Do I believe an olive roll will help me achieve optimum health, even if it is vegan? No. And I didn’t really feel like a piece of fruit, but I didn’t rule it out either.

As I walked the isles, picking up some juicing ingredients, tofu, and canned pumpkin the thought of roasted asparagus crossed my mind. Perfect! This isn’t the first time I have eaten roasted asparagus as a bedtime snack, and  I am sure it won’t be my last. I decided to pick up a Organic Raw Kombucha too, because this is now back in stores and I missed it dearly. It’s full of good for you pro-biotic bacteria, and has a wonderful flavor that is unique to kombucha. Kombucha is my healthy indulgence.

“Bedtime-Snack” Roasted Asparagus

(serves 1 asparagus lover)

1 bunch asparagus, with ends trimmed.
Sea salt, cracked black pepper, garlic powder, fenugreek powder
Spray oil

Preheat oven to 425F. Since I don’t like to cook with oil, I use just enough to get the seasonings to stick to the asparagus. After you put the asparagus in the pan, spray it lightly with the oil, then shake/roll it about to coat well. Then shake on seasonings, then shake/roll again to coat with the seasonings. Bake for about 15-20 min depending on how much crunch you like (17-18min for me), shaking halfway though the cooking process. Serve.

This looks so yummy! And the greenness just makes me happy!

This asparagus is WONDERFUL! The seasoning combination is fantastic. Will cook again A++. Ha. :-)
