Description

A vibrant and healthy side dish featuring roasted asparagus and carrots, perfect for holidays or any occasion. This recipe is easy to prepare, naturally gluten-free, and can be made vegan.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 bunch asparagus (about 1 lb / 450g), woody ends trimmed
  • 4 large carrots (about 1 lb / 450g), peeled and sliced into thin sticks
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1½ tsp kosher salt
  • ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • ½ tsp garlic powder (optional)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice or zest (for brightness)
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
  2. Prepare the Vegetables: Wash and trim the asparagus. Peel the carrots and cut them into sticks roughly the same thickness as the asparagus to ensure even cooking.
  3. Season Everything: In a large bowl, toss the carrots and asparagus with olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Spread them out in a single layer on your baking sheet. Try not to overcrowd the pan—use two sheets if needed.
  4. Roast to Perfection: Roast for 20–25 minutes, tossing halfway through, until the carrots are tender and slightly caramelized and the asparagus is crisp-tender.
  5. Finish and Serve: Right before serving, drizzle with lemon juice or zest and sprinkle with fresh herbs.

Notes

  • Cut vegetables evenly for uniform roasting.
  • Use high heat (425°F) for caramelization.
  • Do not crowd the pan to prevent steaming.
  • Toss vegetables halfway through cooking.
  • Finish with acid (lemon juice or zest) to brighten the flavors.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Freezing is not recommended as it can affect the texture of the asparagus.
