Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound asparagus
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 cup fresh strawberries
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons toasted sliced almonds
- 2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
Trim the tough ends off the asparagus spears and spread them out on the prepared baking sheet.
Drizzle the asparagus with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then sprinkle with kosher salt and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
Roast the asparagus in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
While the asparagus is roasting, wash and hull the strawberries, then slice them into halves or quarters depending on their size.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, honey, and balsamic vinegar to create the vinaigrette.
Arrange the roasted asparagus on a serving platter and scatter the fresh strawberries over the top.
Drizzle the lemon vinaigrette evenly over the asparagus and strawberries.
Sprinkle the dish with toasted sliced almonds and garnish with fresh mint leaves, if desired.
Serve immediately as a fresh, vibrant side dish or light appetizer.
