Roasted Asparagus with Garlic Grape Tomatoes
I am loving the fresh asparagus I see coming into the stores right now. I love roasted asparagus and this is one of my favorite ways to fix it. I have a pan that is like a cookie sheet only it has holes in it and it roasts quickly in this pan. A regular cookie sheet will work also you will just need to flip it once while cooking.
To make the tomato topping you are going to cut the tomatoes in half and add them to a saute pan with a little olive oil and garlic. Cook until they just start to collapse. That’s all, top them over the asparagus and a little parmesan cheese. These are also good over green beans.
