Effortless Roasted Asparagus Carrots (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
1 tablespoon olive oil
02 -
3 big carrots, cut into thin strips to match asparagus size
03 -
1 bunch asparagus, ends trimmed
04 -
Freshly cracked black pepper, as much as you like
05 -
Salt, to your liking
06 -
2 teaspoons lemon zest, taste and add more if needed
07 -
½ cup crumbled goat cheese
# Instructions:
01 -
Turn on the oven to 400°F. Cover a baking sheet with parchment. Lay out the asparagus and carrot slices in a single layer on top.
02 -
Pour olive oil over the veggies and toss them gently to coat. Add salt and some black pepper. Bake for 20-25 minutes until they’re soft with a slight golden edge.
03 -
While still warm, sprinkle the dish with lemon zest and goat cheese before serving.
# Notes:
01 -
Try to choose thinner asparagus for the best texture. Thicker ones tend to be tougher and might turn out mushy.
02 -
You can change up the flavors—parmesan and even some crushed nuts like almonds work great.
