Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb asparagus
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic cloves
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 0.5 tsp dried oregano
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley
- 0.5 whole lemon
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash the asparagus and trim off the woody ends (about 1-2 inches from the bottom). Pat dry.
Rinse the cherry tomatoes and pat them dry as well.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
On a large baking sheet, spread out the asparagus and cherry tomatoes in a single layer.
Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the vegetables.
Sprinkle the minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and dried oregano over the top. Toss everything gently to coat the vegetables evenly.
Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender and slightly caramelized, and the tomatoes are soft and starting to burst.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the roasted vegetables for a bright, fresh flavor.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving warm.
