Parmesan Roasted Asparagus
Looking to expand your side dish game? Take advantage of fresh summer produce and make this simple yet utterly delicious Parmesan Roasted Asparagus! Oven-roasted vegetables are one of the easiest and greatest sides to get on your table. In this recipe, fresh asparagus is topped with a hefty amount of shaved Parmesan cheese, tomatoes, garlic, and a drizzle of olive oil before roasting in the oven until tender and deeply flavorful. Before serving, drizzle with balsamic reduction and sprinkle with fresh basil. Now, that’s a perfect side for any night of the week.
Skip the pre-shaved Parmesan here: You’ll want to shave the cheese yourself using a vegetable peeler. As for the balsamic reduction, you can use a store-bought or a homemade one if you have it on hand. To make your own, simmer 1 cup of balsamic vinegar until it reduces to about half, 10 to 15 minutes. Allow it to cool, then use it in any recipe that calls for balsamic reduction/glaze.
