Description
With only 3 ingredients and ready in 15 minutes, this roasted asparagus laced with the umami of sun dried tomato pesto is a superbly simple yet amazing flavor sensation that you’ll want to make again and again.
Ingredients
- 1 lb. fresh asparagus spears
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1 – 2 Tablespoons pesto rosso (sun-dried tomato pesto – store bought or from this recipe)
- Salt & freshly ground pepper
- For garnish: toasted pine nuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with a silicon baking mat or spray with cooking spray.
- Set the asparagus on the prepared pan and drizzle with olive oil and the lovely sun dried tomato pesto. Use your fingers to toss the asparagus so that all the spears are coated with olive oil and pesto. Sprinkle with salt & freshly ground pepper.
- Set the baking sheet in the oven and roast for about 15 minutes or until the asparagus is bright green and crisp tender. (If you like your asparagus softer, cook a little longer.) Serve hot garnished with toasted pine nuts.
