Ingredients

  • 12 ounces thin asparagus spears, bottoms trimmed
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1-1/2 cups halved grape tomatoes
  • 2 Tbls extra-virgin olive oil
  • ½ tsp coarse salt
  • ¼ tsp smoked sweet paprika
  • 1 tsp lemon oil, optional

Instructions

Heat convection oven to 400 degrees or a conventional oven to 425 degrees. Combine the asparagus, garlic, tomatoes, olive oil, salt and paprika in a large oven-safe skillet. Toss to coat the asparagus with the mixture.

Roast, stirring occasionally, until the asparagus is crisp-tender, about 10-12 minutes depending on the thickness of the spears. Arrange the asparagus in a serving bowl; top with the tomato mixture and all the pan juices. Drizzle the lemon oil, if using.
