    Will replace asparagus with green beans as I don’t like asparagus

    Great recipe, even greater if you add Parmesan cheese on top and bake

    Melt some of the butter and add a little bit of lemon juice, a chopped garlic, salt and pour it on top.
    Delicious.

    It's hard for me to eat three meals a day. Can I add another veggie.

    Any vegetable you add will add more carbs, so pay attention to carb count.
