Herb Roasted (or Grilled) Asparagus

Fresh tarragon, parsley, and chives bring out the best qualities of the asparagus in this recipe, without overpowering its lovely lightness. It may sound simple, but this easy recipe has a definite WOW factor.

Herbs are such a delightful and friendly way to add flavor and aroma while avoiding seed and nightshade spices that some are sensitive to. This recipe is friendly for pretty much any dietary protocol, and happens to be gluten-free, dairy-free, Paleo, AIP, and low-carb.

You can easily double the batch if you're serving a larger crew.

In colder months the oven is the way to go for this Herb Roasted Asparagus, but this one’s a winner on the grill as well. Cook’s choice! (The recipe includes instructions for both.)
