Roasted Asparagus on Garlic with Feta and Cashew Nuts

Perfect roasted asparagus on garlic with feta and cashew nuts, which you can be served alone as a light dinner, afternoon snack, or as garnish for fish or meat. If you enjoy it alone, I recommend to serve it together with red grapes. This combination is really great and the recipe is so easy. Feta cheese, crunchy-baked and seasoned asparagus and crunchy nuts are nicely complemented in this protein rich meal. If you like asparagus, you definitely won't make this fit recipe for the last time.

Asparagus is a very valuable source of vitamins, minerals and health benefits for the body. It contains plenty of water, protein and fiber compared to its low carbohydrate and fat content, what makes this vegetable easy to digest and it will fill you up, but will not burden your stomach. It has high levels of beta-carotene, vitamin E, C as well as B vitamins. There is also considerable amount of potassium, zinc, iron, calcium and magnesium. And these are just some of the substances contained in this superfood.

Baked in the oven, it has an excellent taste and you will definitely love it with feta cheese. I prefer to relish it alone or with mentioned red grapes, but don't hesitate to try it as healthy garnish, preferably for beef. Enrich your lunch with a rich dose of health benefits.
