Ingredients

• 1 pound asparagus spears
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
• 1 clove garlic clove, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese, grated

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Wash the asparagus and trim off the woody ends, about 1-2 inches from the bottom of each spear.

Step 3

Place the asparagus spears on a baking sheet and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper and toss to coat evenly.

Step 4

Spread the asparagus in a single layer on the baking sheet and roast in the oven for 12-15 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized, turning halfway through.

Step 5

While the asparagus is roasting, prepare the vinaigrette. In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, parsley, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 6

Taste the vinaigrette and adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.

Step 7

Once the asparagus is done roasting, transfer it to a serving platter.

Step 8

Drizzle the vinaigrette over the warm asparagus and sprinkle parmesan cheese on top.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy!
