Roasted Asparagus Baby Potatoes (Printable Version)

# What You'll Need:

→ Vegetables

01 - 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed
02 - 450 grams baby potatoes, halved

→ Seasonings

03 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
04 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
05 - 1 teaspoon salt
06 - 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper

# Step-by-Step Directions:

01 - Set the oven to 220°C and allow it to fully preheat before beginning preparation.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, add trimmed asparagus and halved baby potatoes. Gently toss to distribute evenly.
03 - Drizzle olive oil over vegetables. Sprinkle garlic powder, salt, and black pepper on top. Toss thoroughly to ensure all vegetables are well coated.
04 - Spread vegetables in a single layer on a lined baking sheet to promote even roasting.
05 - Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Roast for 25–30 minutes, stirring vegetables halfway through for uniform coloring and texture.
06 - Check tenderness by piercing potatoes and asparagus with a fork. Remove from oven once vegetables are golden and fork-tender. Serve hot.

# Helpful Notes:

01 - For enhanced flavor, finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice or a sprinkle of fresh herbs such as thyme or rosemary before serving.
02 - Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet to encourage proper roasting and crispiness.
03 - Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
04 - For reheating, use the oven at 200°C for best texture or microwave on medium in short intervals if time is limited.
