A delightful side dish featuring roasted asparagus and cremini mushrooms, enhanced with a touch of balsamic vinegar.
Preheat your oven to 425°F.
Preheating ensures even cooking and proper roasting.
In a mixing bowl, combine the asparagus and mushrooms with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Tossing the vegetables in a bowl ensures even coating of oil and seasoning.
Spread the vegetables in a single layer on a baking sheet.
A single layer allows the vegetables to roast evenly and develop a nice caramelization.
Roast in the oven for about 10-12 minutes, turning once halfway through, until tender and slightly browned.
Turning the vegetables ensures even browning on all sides.
Remove from the oven and drizzle with balsamic vinegar. Toss gently to combine.
Adding the vinegar while the vegetables are hot allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
Serve warm or at room temperature as a side dish.
This dish pairs well with a variety of main courses, making it versatile for any meal.
