Oven roasted asparagus and tomatoes is a simple but flavorful side dish to throw together! Great flavor and texture throughout the whole dish.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 bunch asparagus (about 20 stalks)
  • 1 pint tomatoes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400ºF.
  • Snap or cut the tough ends off the asparagus and wash asparagus and tomatoes.
  • Toss asparagus spears and tomatoes with olive oil, salt and pepper.
  • Roast for about 15 minutes or until the asparagus is tender but slightly crunchy and the tomatoes have burst.
  • Sprinkle with parmesan cheese.

Notes

Recipe Variations & Fresh Touches:
  • Brighten the dish just before serving with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, a drizzle of good olive oil, flaky sea salt, or fresh herbs.
  • Classic Mediterranean herbs like thyme, rosemary, or oregano complement both vegetables beautifully.
  • Garlic, lemon zest, balsamic vinegar, and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese are also excellent additions that enhance the natural flavors.
Trim Asparagus: Snap off the woody ends naturally where they break, or cut about 1-2 inches from the bottom. For very thick spears, lightly peel the bottom third with a vegetable peeler to ensure even cooking throughout.
Don't Overcrowd: Spread vegetables in a single layer with space between pieces to ensure proper browning. Overcrowding creates steam instead of the desirable caramelization - use two pans if necessary.
