Roasted Asparagus and Potatoes
If you’re looking for a spring or summer side dish that goes well with any grilled protein, look no further. The basic recipe is great on its own, but I love the addition of creamy dijon sauce (see recipe in the notes).

Half Sheet Pan
Parchment Paper
Knife
Cutting Board
- 2 pounds potatoes, new or baby potatoes or any red or yellow skinned variety
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
- 1 tablespoon very finely chopped or snipped rosemary
- 1 bunch asparagus
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice potatoes into 2-inch pieces. If using baby or new potatoes, you may just need to have or quarter them. Chop the asparagus into 2-inch lengths.
Combine potatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, ½ teaspoon salt, and rosemary. Spread out on baking sheet. Roast the potatoes for 40 minutes, stirring halfway through.
After 40 minutes, remove the pan from the oven. Toss the asparagus with 1 tablespoon olive oil and ½ teaspoon kosher salt.
Stir the asparagus into the potatoes and roast together until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 8 minutes more. Serve warm or at room temperature. Great with Creamy Dijon Sauce (recipe below).
Creamy Dijon Sauce
- ½ cup Mayonnaise
- 3 tablespoons Dijon Mustard
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic
Blend until smooth
