Tuscan-Style Roasted Asparagus
I was making a Tuscan-style chicken dinner and wanted to try something different as a side dish. I found an easy Tuscan-style roasted asparagus recipe on Taste of Home that looked perfect. We all loved this delicious side dish; it was easy to prepare and paired nicely with the Tuscan chicken, garlic rice, and crusty roasted garlic bread.

This is my kind of recipe. Hopefully I can find some asparagus to try this 🙂
I love roast asparagus! Never thought to combine it with roast tomatoes, but I will. 🙂 This is wonderful — thanks.
I’ve been roasting the tarnation out of grape tomatoes recently. This looks like a wonderful pairing of two of my all time favorite veggies!
Wow those look pretty spectacular, Pam. This would be the perfect side for a nice grilled steak or even on it’s own as a light meat. That color really pops.
I love these Pam, look absolutely delicious! And I love asparagus!
Asparagus is my all time favourite! This looks very beautiful!
Great recipe for asparagus.
I love any vegetable roasted. I can’t wait to try this!
This is my kind of side dish! I love asparagus best when it’s roasted. 🙂
