Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb asparagus spears
- 1 medium red onion
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 large garlic cloves
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 0.25 cup parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus spears, about 1-2 inches from the bottom, and discard them.
Peel and slice the red onion into thin wedges.
Peel and finely chop the garlic cloves.
Place the asparagus spears and red onion slices on the prepared baking sheet.
Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the vegetables and sprinkle with chopped garlic, salt, and black pepper. Toss gently to ensure everything is well-coated.
Spread the vegetables out in a single layer on the baking sheet to allow for even roasting.
Roast in the oven for 15 minutes, then remove the sheet and drizzle the balsamic vinegar evenly over the vegetables.
Return to the oven and roast for an additional 5 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender and the onions are slightly caramelized.
Optional: Sprinkle grated parmesan cheese over the vegetables immediately after removing them from the oven for a savory finishing touch.
Serve warm as a side dish with your favorite main course.
