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

Instructions

  • 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.

Notes

This is best served when it’s freshly cooked, but it will keep at room temperature for up to 1 hour or up to about 2 to 3 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Rewarm in the microwave, on the stovetop or in the oven before serving.
