Sweet Potato & Black Bean Tacos
Lemon Ginger Asparagus
By :The Complete Vegan Instant Pot Cookbook By Barb Musick |

This dish just screams SPRINGTIME to me! The light, bright flavors along with one of my very favorite vegetables create a delicious side dish. You’ll notice I’ve listed a range of measurements for the seasonings. That’s because ginger and lemon can quickly overwhelm the asparagus if you’re not careful. I recommend starting with 1/2 teaspoon of each and tasting after adding the asparagus. It’s easy to add more, but there’s no turning back if you add too much.
