Preheat your oven to 425Β°F (220Β°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash the red and yellow bell peppers, then slice them into thick strips. Trim the woody ends of the asparagus spears.
Place the sliced peppers and asparagus on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and season with salt and ground black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
Spread the vegetables out in a single layer and roast in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the peppers are tender and slightly charred and the asparagus is crisp-tender.
While the vegetables are roasting, prepare the raspberry vinaigrette. In a small bowl, whisk together the raspberry vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, a pinch of salt, and black pepper to taste. Gradually drizzle in the olive oil as you whisk, forming a smooth and emulsified dressing.
Remove the roasted vegetables from the oven and allow them to cool slightly for 5-10 minutes.
Transfer the roasted peppers and asparagus to a large serving platter or bowl. Drizzle the raspberry vinaigrette over the vegetables and gently toss to coat.
If desired, garnish with fresh raspberries and chopped parsley for added color and flavor.
Serve the dish warm or at room temperature. Enjoy this light, tangy, and healthy side dish!
