Ingredients

• 2 Red bell pepper
• 2 Yellow bell pepper
• 1 pound Asparagus spears
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 3 tablespoons Raspberry vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 2 teaspoons Honey
• 0.25 cup Fresh raspberries (optional, for garnish)
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Wash the red and yellow bell peppers, then slice them into thick strips. Trim the woody ends of the asparagus spears.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Remove the roasted vegetables from the oven and allow them to cool slightly for 5-10 minutes.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

If desired, garnish with fresh raspberries and chopped parsley for added color and flavor.

Step 9

Serve the dish warm or at room temperature. Enjoy this light, tangy, and healthy side dish!
