Garlic-Mozzarella Roasted Asparagus
Garlic-Mozzarella Roasted Asparagus pairs tender, oven-roasted spears with rich olive oil, fragrant garlic, and a bubbly cap of melted mozzarella. Each bite is crisp-tipped and juicy with a lightly salty, cheesy finish that makes vegetables feel indulgent. Serve this as a weeknight side for roasted meats or fish, or bring it to a spring dinner party where simple flavors shine.
