As we are approaching asparagus season, I made this Tuscan-Style Roasted Asparagus, which has pinenuts, lemon, finished off with some freshly grated parmesan cheese. Asparagus is low in calories and a great source of nutrients, including fiber, folate and vitamins A, C and K. Eating asparagus can potentially help with weight loss, improved digestion, healthy pregnancy outcomes and lower blood pressure.
