Ingredients
- 5 pieces medium carrots
- 1 bunch asparagus spears
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon (grated or minced) fresh ginger
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 1 clove (minced) garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Peel the carrots and slice them diagonally into 2-inch pieces. Trim the woody ends off the asparagus and cut the spears into similar lengths as the carrots.
Step 3
Place the carrots and asparagus on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, season with salt and black pepper, and toss to coat evenly.
Step 4
Spread the vegetables out in a single layer on the baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, turning them halfway through, until tender and slightly caramelized.
Step 5
While the vegetables are roasting, prepare the sesame ginger dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon olive oil, sesame oil, grated ginger, soy sauce, honey, and minced garlic until well combined.
Step 6
Once the vegetables are done, transfer them to a large serving bowl. Drizzle the sesame ginger dressing over the top and toss gently to coat.
Step 7
Sprinkle the roasted vegetables with sesame seeds for garnish.
Step 8
Serve warm as a side dish, and enjoy the bold and tangy flavors!
