Baked Balsamic Asparagus
INGREDIENTS:
1 lb thick asparagus
2 tbsp olive oil divided
Kosher salt and pepper to taste
1 tsp Italian seasoning
2 pints cherry tomatoes on the vine
1/2 cup freshly shaved parmesan cheese
2 tbsp balsamic glaze
Optional: 1 tbsp chopped parsley
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat the oven to 400ºF and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
Trim about 1 inch off the ends of your asparagus and place it on the sheet pan. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and toss with your hands to coat. Bring it to one side of the sheet pan.
To the other side add the cherry tomatoes on the vine and coat with the remaining oil, salt, and pepper.
Sprinkle everything with the Italian seasoning. Bake for 8 minutes, then remove from the oven and sprinkle with the parmesan. Broil for 1-2 minutes. Drizzle with the balsamic glaze and garnish with parsley, if desired.
