This grilled asparagus tastes delish served with salmon or grilled chicken and a steamed potato or have a full serve & enjoy with a poached egg for breakfast…the options are endless but either way, by eating this you know you are eating something that is sooo good for you! It takes little prep & is a great one to have up your sleeve to make a big plate for the holiday season.

Why it’s good for you

This is what we call a gut-loving side; asparagus is a classified as a prebiotic so really good for feeding our gut bugs! Walnuts & Extra Virgin Olive Oil are high in omega-3s (good fats) which we are now finding out is also used by our gut bugs (not just about the fibre!). Plus the omegas help reduce inflammation which we know is a contributor too many bowel conditions.

Notes

1. Don’t have asparagus handy? Try broccolini or brussel sprouts instead

2. Different nuts work well with this, also try almonds or pine nuts

3. Swap garlic clove for 1/2 tsp garlic powder

4. Vegan: Swap parmesan for nutritional yeast
