No reviews

This simple side dish elevates ordinary asparagus and carrots with a flavorful garlic herb butter, roasted to perfection for a slightly caramelized and tender-crisp result.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound asparagus, trimmed
  • 1 pound carrots, peeled and chopped
  • 4 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Lemon wedges, for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, toss asparagus and carrots with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  3. In a small bowl, combine melted butter, minced garlic, rosemary, and thyme.
  4. Pour garlic herb butter over the vegetables and toss to coat evenly.
  5. Spread vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until vegetables are tender-crisp and slightly caramelized, flipping halfway through.
  7. Serve immediately. Garnish with lemon wedges, if desired.

Notes

For extra flavor, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese during the last 5 minutes of roasting. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving. Feel free to substitute other herbs like parsley or oregano. A drizzle of balsamic glaze adds a touch of sweetness.
