Roasted Mocha-Chili Spiced Asparagus
I was so excited to test a new recipe using this Mocha Chili Spice blend. I decided to test this spice blend on asparagus.
Equipment
- 1 rimmed baking sheet pan
- 1 chef's knife
- 1 cutting board
Ingredients
- 1 pound asparagus Ends trimmed off
- 2 tbsps Mocha Chili Spice Blend
- 1 tbsp kosher salt
- 1/4 cup olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°F.Start by rinsing the asparagus spears under cold water. Next, dry all the spears off well. Once they're all dry, hold each one at both ends and bend the spear until it snaps. They will naturally snap when it starts to get tough. Discard the bottom portion.Place asparagus spears onto a sheet pan. Next, add the Mocha Chili, Kosher salt, and olive oil. Using clean hands, toss the asparagus spears so they are all coated. Then spread them out evenly into one layer. Roast the asparagus for 12-15 minutes, depending on the thickness. Add a final sprinkling of Kosher salt. WOW!, The Mocha Chili Spice Blend adds the perfect balance of heat with a touch of sweetness to the asparagus.There you have it, my Roasted Mocha Chili Spiced Asparagus for your next meal.For more information, visit...
