Ingredients
1 bunch fresh asparagus (trimmed)
1 1/2 cups cherry tomatoes
2 tbsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1 1/2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1/3 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
Salt to taste
Black pepper to taste
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Arrange asparagus and cherry tomatoes on the baking sheet.
Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.
Toss gently to coat evenly.
Roast for 15–20 minutes until asparagus is tender and tomatoes begin to burst.
Remove from oven and drizzle with balsamic vinegar.
Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the vegetables.
Let sit for a few minutes until cheese slightly melts, then serve.
Notes
Use fresh asparagus for best texture and flavor.
Balsamic glaze can be used for a sweeter, thicker finish.
