Balsamic Parmesan Roasted Asparagus And Tomatoes Recipes

SIMPLE ROASTED ASPARAGUS WITH BALSAMIC AND PARMESAN

Steps:

• Heat your oven to 425ºF, convection roast if you have it.
• To prepare the asparagus, snap off the end of each spear. Discard or compost the end. Cut the spears in half. Transfer to a 9×13-inch baking dish or a sheet pan or something similar.
• Drizzle with the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss with your hands to ensure each spear is nicely coated and seasoned. Transfer pan to the oven for 20-25 minutes or until the tips of the asparagus are just lightly beginning to char.
• Remove the pan from the oven and transfer to a serving platter. Taste one spear. If it tastes under-seasoned, sprinkle the entire dish with more salt to taste. Using a peeler - this is my favorite - shave parmesan over top to taste.
• Finish the dish by drizzling the syrupy balsamic over top.
