Recipe FAQs:

Should I soak asparagus before roasting?

No, there is no need to soak asparagus before roasting.

Why is my roasted asparagus mushy?

It is very easy to overcook asparagus. Keep an eye on them in the oven. Thinner asparagus will cook faster than thicker asparagus.

Recipe pro-tips:

The time the vegetables take to cook will depend on how thick the asparagus and carrots are. The carrots are still slightly thicker than the asparagus when cut in half that's why we roast them separately first. This ensures even cooking.

I don't recommend frozen asparagus or carrots for this recipe. They will be too soggy.

If the carrots are very large, cut them into fourths lengthwise.

Since the vegetables will naturally vary a bit in size, keep an eye on them in the oven.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 bunch asparagus - I recommend using asparagus that are neither too thin or too thick.
  • 4 carrots
  • 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 drizzle hot honey  - If you don't want to buy hot honey, just mix plain honey with some crushed red pepper flakes.
  • 2 tablespoons crumbled goat cheese  - You can also use crumbled feta cheese in place of goat cheese.

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
  • Of course, wash the asparagus and carrots very well. Cut the tops of the carrots, peel them and slice them down the middle.
  • Line the asparagus up on a cutting board. Next, trim the asparagus. Cut where the stalks turn from white to green. The white stem is woody and hard. You can also bend the asparagus gently until it breaks. It will naturally snap right before the white woody stem. Throw away the white stems. Set the trimmed asparagus aside.
  • Add the carrots to the baking sheet. Toss the carrots with the olive oil, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Make sure you don’t stack the carrots on top of one another. Spread them out for even cooking. Roast the carrots for 6 minutes.
  • After the 6 minutes, remove the carrots from the oven. Turn the oven down to 400 degrees F. Add the trimmed asparagus to the baking sheet and use a spatula to toss everything together. You want to make sure that the asparagus are coated in oil and the seasonings. Spread the veggies out for even cooking.
  • Place the baking sheet back into the oven and roast for another 9-14 minutes, or until the carrots and asparagus are tender. If the carrots and asparagus are thicker, they will take a bit longer to cook. If they are thinner, they will cook quicker. 
  • Serve the roasted vegetables with a sprinkle of goat cheese and a drizzle of hot honey!
