Tuscan-Style Roasted Asparagus

Tuscan-Style Roasted Asparagus

I was making a Tuscan-style chicken dinner and decided to look for a tasty side dish to pair with it. I found this recipe on Taste of Home that looked perfect. I love roasted asparagus and tomatoes together so I figured they would be even tastier topped with Parmesan, toasted pine nuts, and fresh lemon juice. This is a beautiful and delicious side dish that paired nicely with the chicken and my whole family loved it.

  1. 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!

  2. 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.
