Broccoli and Asparagus with Mint

brocMint and Veggies?  Sounds weird, tastes delish.

I love roasting my broccoli– at a high temp, the edges get nice and crispy.  I cut up the asparagus because it keeps it from getting soggy and retains that lovely crunch factor!  There is a freshness and subtlety to the mint that really takes the flavor to another level of fabulous.  This, from the girl who is not a big fan of vegetables.  Time for bacon broccoli (and asparagus and mint) y’all!
