Trying to find ways to incorporate more veggies into your diet? This salad is a great tasting way to make sure you're getting more nutrients. Asparagus is rich in Vitamin K, has anti-inflammatory benefits, aids in digestion, and regulates blood sugar. Brussels sprouts are rich in Vitamins K and C, provide detox support, have antioxidants, and aid in digestion. I'm also just obsessed with brussels sprouts and try to use them in pretty much everything. I paired this awesome duo with spinach, which is rich in Vitamins K and A, has anti-cancer benefits, and maintains bone health. Not to mention, they all taste great together!
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Wash your asparagus and cut the spears into bite size pieces. Place them on a piece of Pam sprayed aluminum foil with your shaved brussels sprouts. If you only have whole brussels sprouts, just chop them up as finely as possible. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and cayenne pepper. Spray again with Pam and roast in the oven for about 10-12 minutes, until slightly browned. Place your roasted veggies on a bed of spinach, top with some fresh squeezed lemon juice, and serve! This makes a great side dish or meal with some slivered almonds for protein. You can also add some dried cranberries or mandarin oranges for a sweeter salad.
