Ingredients
Scale
- 1 bunch Asparagus (about 1 lb): Tender and earthy vegetable.
- 1 bunch Radishes (about 12–14 radishes): Peppery and crunchy texture.
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil: Helps with roasting and adds healthy fats.
- 2 tbsp Dijon Mustard: Tangy and sharp flavor base for vinaigrette.
- 2 tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar: Adds mild, fruity acidity.
- 1 tbsp Honey: Sweetens and balances the mustard vinaigrette.
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced: Fresh garlic adds aromatic depth to the dressing.
- Salt & Pepper to taste: Seasoning to taste, enhancing the natural flavors of the vegetables and vinaigrette.
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Trim the woody ends off the asparagus and slice the radishes into halves or quarters.
- Place the asparagus and radishes on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
- Roast for 15-20 minutes until vegetables are tender and golden brown.
- While vegetables are roasting, whisk together Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, honey, garlic, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
- Slowly drizzle in olive oil while whisking to create a smooth vinaigrette.
- Once vegetables are done, transfer to a serving platter and drizzle with the mustard vinaigrette. Toss gently to coat and serve immediately.
Notes
- Ensure vegetables are evenly spread on the baking sheet to prevent steaming.
- For a spicier kick, add red pepper flakes or hot sauce to the vinaigrette.
- This recipe can be made ahead. Simply store roasted vegetables and vinaigrette separately, then combine when ready to serve.
- If you prefer a vegan-friendly option, swap honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
