Super Easy Asparagus!
What you need:
1 pound asparagus, washed and snapped in half
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup nutritional yeast
1 tablespoon garlic powder
What you do:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
2. Place asparagus in a sealable container. Add olive oil, nutritional yeast, and garlic powder, and shake it all up.

Obviously this recipe is really easy to tweak. You can add any other spices you like. You can also scale it down, I often make just one portion and bake it in the toaster oven. Have fun!

Great recipe, so simple and delicious. Thanks for sharing! :)
This was pretty tasty! Definitely a new take on asparagus! I'll make this again, but try tweaking it a little bit with different spices, I'd really like to give it a spicy kick :)
I'm curious about the use of nutritional yeast. I've only used nutritional yeast in gravy. I guess I have to look into other uses.
On toast with earth balance... on steamed veg, with fresh pepper & garlic salt... in bread dough... on pasta, with basil/ oregano/spinach/ olive oil... in chili... in hot mustard dip, for pretzels... in nacho cheez sauce... blended with jarred/ chopped red bells, for 'pimiento cheez' spread... in cashew parmesan-esque topping... with ground cashews, mustard, Bragg's, hot sauce, smoke flavoring, & (veg) worcestershire sauce, rolled in sliced pecans or almonds for delish 'cheezball'... with vegenaise, ground cashews, roasted garlic, basil, red bells & artichokes, for amazing artichoke dip... on kale chips, with cider vinegar/ grapeseed oil/ sea salt... and ok, i'm not ashamed, i'll admit it: pinched straight from the bag... there are SO many ways to eat the nooch!... gravy is a good start; but DO continue exploring! ;-)

Totally delicious! I put in less garlic powder because my dad's not a big garlic fan (something I will never understand...) and added some oregano and lemon juice.
This was ok, but I think I like my roasted asparagus with just plain ol' salt and pepper much better. And I'm a nutritional yeast lover.
This was amazing... I only had frozen asparagus so I boiled it for a couple minutes to take the "freeze" off, and then I used fresh minced garlic and sprinkled sea salt on the top right before putting it in the oven.
It was amazing! We called it "Asparagus Fries"
I made this recipe last night and I have to make it again tonight. The nutritional yeast gets really chewy and delicious. Thank you so much for posting this recipe.
Very easy. Very delicious. I swear I ate 2 of the five bundles I made for my mom's Christmas party and i don't believe I had leftovers. No salt necessary, btw.
Yum yum yum!!!!!!
