If you are struggling with vegetables consumption, I got a fix for you. Easy and tasty asparagus side dish, goes well with many meals and even by itself, and most importantly, nutritious!


Asparagus are usually not liked by everyone, as they are blend by themselves, and easy to overcook. The key here is to remove the stems (to avoid that chewy texture), and cook them 'al dente'.


The addition of turmeric and chili creates a nice spicy kick, and the parmesan finish takes it to a next new level, that will make this meal a go to side dish to any main.
