Ingredients
Substitutions
Carrots- I like to use regular carrots but you can use baby carrots. If you use baby carrots be sure to cut them in half or fourths so they don't take longer to cook than the asparagus.
Garlic powder- You can use any seasoning that you like.
Honey- Maple syrup will work if you don't have honey.
Step by step
- Preheat your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Peel and wash your carrots then cut them into match sticks. Cut them in half long ways, then cut them in half again. They should be around the same size as the asparagus.
- Wash and trim the woody stems off the asparagus.
- Place your carrots and asparagus on a parchment lined baking sheet. Drizzle avocado oil or olive oil, sprinkle with the salt, pepper, and garlic powder then toss to combine.
- Bake for 15 minutes then pull the baking sheet out of the oven, drizzle the honey over the asparagus and carrots, and using tongs toss them in the honey. Put back in the oven and cook for another 15 minutes.
Tips
After your carrots and asparagus are done cooking turn the oven to broil and let them cook under the broiler for 5 minutes to get them nice and crispy.
Storing and reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
You can reheat your leftovers in the microwave if you don't have much time but the best way to reheat them is in the oven. Bake them at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 minutes or until warmed through.
