Maple Roasted Asparagus with Pecans

Once upon a time, there was a girl who despised asparagus.

Granted, she had never actually had asparagus. But she could tell just by looking at it that this was a vegetable to be avoided at all costs.

Fortunately, this silly girl realized one day that she was indeed being silly. After all, it wasn’t really fair to judge the asparagus by it’s weird appearance.

So she gave it a try….

and BAM! She loved it.

I know I just threw a pecan-based recipe at you and here I am proffering up another.

What can I say? Pecans are awesome. So is asparagus. Awesome + Awesome = Awesomer.
