Roasted Asparagus and Carrots (4 Ingredients)
Learn to make roasted asparagus and carrots in the oven for just 20 minutes! This recipe is vegan, easy to make, and delicious!
Ingredients
- 1 pound asparagus, woody part of asparagus cut and trimmed
- 1 pound regular carrots, peeled and cut into strips, similar size to Asparagus
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, or vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- ½ of 1 lemon zest
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Trim the asparagus removing the woody ends. Cut the carrot in similar thickness to the asparagus. I used smaller and younger carrots that are not overly tough and will cook faster together with asparagus.1 pound asparagus, 1 pound regular carrots
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
- Arrange vegetables in one single layer. Drizzle the veggies with olive oil, season with salt and black pepper, and mix with your hands. I love adding lemon zest to the mix, but this is optional.2 tablespoons olive oil, ½ teaspoon black pepper, ½ teaspoon sea salt, ½ of 1 lemon zest
- Bake asparagus with carrots in the oven for 15-20 minutes.
- Before serving, add a squeeze of lemon juice and garnish it with fresh parsley.1 tablespoon lemon juice
Notes
- To Store: Let the veggies cool before wrapping them in aluminum foil or placing them into an airtight container. I like to add a piece of paper towel underneath to prevent them from becoming soggy. Refrigerate and consume within 3-4 days.
- To Reheat: Reheat in the oven at 375 or 400 degrees Fahrenheit or in an Air Fryer. Microwaving will only make them mushy.
- Asparagus should be bright green and firm. Avoid carrots that are soft or have brown spots.
- Carrots: Cut baby or regular orange carrots to a thickness similar to that of the asparagus.
- Do you need to cover Asparagus in the oven? No, as we only cook the veggies for 15-20 minutes, it is not necessary for this recipe. If your veggies are becoming too brown, cover them with aluminum foil until the end of baking.
