Flathead wooden spatula: a wooden spatula is heat resistant and the flat head makes it easy to stir the veggies on the baking sheet.
Sharp knife: used to cut the veggies, use a non-serrated sharp knife for best results.
Wooden cutting board: for quartering mushrooms and cutting asparagus.
Paper towels: these help clean the mushrooms and remove any dirt and debris.
π₯«Storage
Refrigerate: βstore any leftover asparagus and mushrooms in an airtight container up to 4 days.

π Variations
- Sprinkle the top with grated parmesan cheese to add a cheesy flavor to the vegetables.
- For added flavor add Β½ teaspoon each garlic powder and onion powder to the veggies before roasting.
π Tips
- To prepare the asparagus, hold the spear in one hand and bend the woody end with the other hand until the spear snaps in half. This ensures any of the tough parts of the asparagus stalk are removed. Use a knife to cut the asparagus into bite sized pieces.
- If the mushrooms seem to be coated with a lot of dirt and debris, give them a quick rinse under cold water; then wipe clean with a paper towel.

This look "holiday worthy" for sure. Our stores have the chicken and beef flavor boost, but I haven't seen the veggie one yet. I'll have to watch for it since this recipe is a real contender for this years menu. Thank you for sharing it.
