Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 bunch asparagus, ends snapped
  • 1 bunch radishes, cleaned and trimmed Cut these if they are large so they're relatively the same size
  • 1 bunch scallions, trimmed
  • spray of grapeseed or coconut oil
  • pinch of salt
  • pinch of za'atar
  • pinch of nigella seeds
  • few spoons of almond ricotta (see notes)

Method
 

  1. Combine the asparagus, radishes and scallions and toss with a pinch of salt and a quick spray of oil and toss well.
  2. Add to a parchment lined baking sheet.
  3. Roast at 400 degrees for about 15-25 minutes, depending on the size of the asparagus (I err on the shorter side and check it often).
  4. Plate with a few scoops of almond ricotta.
  5. Sprinkle the za'atar over the veggies.
  6. Sprinkle the nigella seeds over the almond ricotta.
  7. Serve with your favorite grain or protein. Lentils and millet would go well here.
