ROASTED ASPARAGUS WITH TOASTED WALNUTS AND FETA

Iiiiiiit’s asparagus season!!

And boy does it make me happy.

You can grill it, roast it, steam it…even fry it I suppose if that’s what you fancy.

I’ve never been super creative with asparagus because I love it so much plain.

I usually just roast it with some olive oil and salt and call it a day.

But as I was pulling it out of the fridge this time to do the usual, I saw some feta in the corner and suddenly the idea of asparagus without feta felt inconceivable.

To make it even better, I toasted up some walnuts to crumble on top and OH MAN.

It was a good call.
