How to Make Parmesan Roasted Asparagus with Cherry Tomatoes
1. Prepare the asparagus
Trim the woody ends of the asparagus.
Tip: Don’t throw them away—freeze them with other veggie scraps to make homemade vegetable broth later.
2. Season the asparagus
Place asparagus on a baking tray.
Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil, then sprinkle your seasoning blend evenly for maximum flavor.
3. Prepare the cherry tomatoes
Cut cherry tomatoes in half.
Mix them with:
- minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon seasoning mix
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Let them marinate for a few minutes for deeper flavor.
4. Assemble the dish
Spread the cherry tomatoes over the asparagus.
Generously sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top for a golden, crispy finish.
5. Bake
Roast in a preheated oven at 200°C (390°F) for 20–25 minutes, until the asparagus is tender and the Parmesan is lightly golden.
Serving Ideas

Pro Cooking Tips
