 Red Pepper Confetti Asparagus

 

This is a great vegetable dish to serve for a dinner party because you can get the asparagus ready to cook in advance!
 

2 lbs 

 

fresh asparagus, tough ends trimmed

 

1

 

red bell pepper, sliced thinly

 

2 Tbs 

 

olive oil

 

4 Tbs 

 

fresh lemon juice

 

½ cup 

 

fresh dill, chopped

 

 

 

fresh ground pepper

 

 

1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2

Place asparagus on a piece of aluminum foil large enough to hold the asparagus in a single layer and to fold over and seal. Place the foil and contents into a rectangular casserole dish. Lay sliced bell pepper over asparagus. Sprinkle the asparagus and bell pepper with olive oil, lemon juice, and dill. Season with pepper. Wrap the foil around the asparagus (snugly but not tightly), and seal tightly by folding the edges together.

3

Bake 10-15 min., depending on the thickness of the asparagus. Serve immediately.
