I’ve heard it so many times. “I’d cook vegetables more often, but they’re such a hassle to make” or “my family won’t like them.” Well, I’m here to disprove those complaints once and for all with my Roasted Asparagus with Mushrooms and Tomatoes recipe. 🙂
And before you even think of uttering “but my son/daughter/husband doesn’t like tomatoes or mushrooms” objection, don’t worry … the tomatoes and mushrooms are super easy to sort out so you can give more of them to those of us who LOVE THEM! Or, if you’re in a family of mushroom or tomato-haters, feel free to just leave one or both out.
Now some of you may remember that a year or so ago I shared another, super simple recipe for roasted asparagus that I love. Today’s recipe, however, takes things up a notch or two without much more effort. And wow, just look. Doesn’t this dish look simply amazing?
Yes, it’s the perfect recipe for any occasion! Easy enough to make for a weeknight meal, but awesome enough to serve for entertaining! Whether it’s date night at home, family dinner with the kids, or you’re entertaining some great friends, this Roasted Asparagus recipe is the perfect veggie to accompany your meal!

Turned out fantastic! I went a step further and drizzled a balsamic reduction over everything when it came out of the oven (before the cheese).
Thanks!
