3 garlic cloves, peeled and smashed (or spring garlic!)
1 large escarole head, trimmed, leaves torn and washed well
Coarse salt
In a large skillet, heat oil over medium. Add garlic, and cook until fragrant and lightly golden, about 3 minutes. Stir in escarole; season with salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until tender, about 10 minutes.
1/4 cup nutritional yeast OR Parmesan. I used nutritional yeast for a dairy-free version, but parmesan is awesome as well.
Black pepper and Sea salt
Paprika and Minced garlic
Preheat oven to 400. Snap off rough end of asparagus and then trim a bit more if needed. Coat a non-stick pan with 1 tbsp. olive oil or cooking spray. Place asparagus on pan – careful not to overcrowd or they won’t cook evenly. Drizzle remaining olive oil and season with pepper, sea salt, and paprika. Roast for 30 minutes, tossing asparagus half way through. When asparagus is ready season with a bit more pepper and salt, add minced garlic and squeeze lemon juice on top. Finally, add nutritional yeast or parmesan cheese.
