Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound asparagus spears
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1 clove garlic clove, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese, grated
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 of each spear.
Place the asparagus spears on a baking sheet and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper and toss to coat evenly.
Spread the asparagus in a single layer on the baking sheet and roast in the oven for 12-15 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized, turning halfway through.
While the asparagus is roasting, prepare the vinaigrette. In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, parsley, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Taste the vinaigrette and adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.
Once the asparagus is done roasting, transfer it to a serving platter.
Drizzle the vinaigrette over the warm asparagus and sprinkle parmesan cheese on top.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
