Ingredients
- 1 lb asparagus
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic cloves
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 0.5 tsp dried oregano
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley
- 0.5 whole lemon
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Wash the asparagus and trim off the woody ends (about 1-2 inches from the bottom). Pat dry.
Step 3
Rinse the cherry tomatoes and pat them dry as well.
Step 4
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
Step 5
On a large baking sheet, spread out the asparagus and cherry tomatoes in a single layer.
Step 6
Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the vegetables.
Step 7
Sprinkle the minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and dried oregano over the top. Toss everything gently to coat the vegetables evenly.
Step 8
Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender and slightly caramelized, and the tomatoes are soft and starting to burst.
Step 9
Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the roasted vegetables for a bright, fresh flavor.
Step 10
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving warm.
