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).

Equipment

  • Half Sheet Pan
  • Parchment Paper
  • Knife
  • Cutting Board

Ingredients

  • 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

Instructions

  • 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).

Notes

Creamy Dijon Sauce
  • ½ cup Mayonnaise
  • 3 tablespoons Dijon Mustard
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic
Blend until smooth
