I have been eating and living asparagus for the last month and I would not change it for the world. Seriously. Â Asparagus frittatas, chilled asparagus soup, roasted asparagus and grape salad and plain old asparagus dipped in melted butter (especially with some Parmesan cheese grated on top – that really add something to it) have all been on the menu.
This recipe came about because OH loves chorizo and chilli so it was an easy step to add these two to some sweet roasted asparagus. He is happy, I am happy and we both get to indulge in lots more asparagus. Â When making this for vegetarians I simply omit the chorizo.
So try this easy asparagus recipe today and please leave me a comment below to let me know what you think.

Asparagus is one of my favourite vegetables.
I’ve never had asparagus, is that bad? Veggies scares me but your selection looks appetizing.
