Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound fresh asparagus, ends trimmed
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment or foil.
- In a large bowl, toss asparagus and cherry tomatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well coated.
- Spread the mixture in a single layer on the baking sheet, ensuring the vegetables do not overlap.
- Sprinkle grated parmesan cheese evenly over the top.

Notes
- Use thicker asparagus spears for better texture after roasting.
- Grate your own parmesan for a richer flavor and better melt.
- For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes.
