Caprese Roasted Asparagus
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a 12x18-inch sheet pan with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Pat the asparagus spears dry and arrange them in a single row on the prepared sheet pan. Set the cherry tomato halves beside the asparagus spears, cut sides down.

  3. 3

    Use a pastry brush to coat the asparagus spears and tomato halves with oil. Season with salt and pepper.

  4. 4

    Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven until they are crisp-tender, 10 to 12 minutes (see Note).

  5. 5

    Transfer the asparagus to a serving dish and sprinkle with shredded mozzarella. Scatter the roasted cherry tomato halves over the shredded mozzarella, sprinkle with chopped basil, and drizzle with balsamic vinegar to taste. Serve warm.
