Learn to make roasted asparagus and carrots in the oven for just 20 minutes! This recipe is vegan, easy to make, and delicious!

Ingredients

  • 1 pound asparagus (woody part of asparagus cut and trimmed)
  • 1 pound regular carrots (peeled and cut into strips, similar size to Asparagus)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (or vegetable oil)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 1/2 of 1 lemon zest
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Trim the asparagus removing the woody ends. Cut the carrot in similar thickness to the asparagus. I used smaller and younger carrots that are not overly tough and will cook faster together with asparagus.

  2. 2

    Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.

  3. 3

    Arrange vegetables in one single layer. Drizzle the veggies with olive oil, season with salt and black pepper, and mix with your hands. I love adding lemon zest to the mix, but this is optional.

  4. 4

    Bake asparagus with carrots in the oven for 15-20 minutes.

  5. 5

    Before serving, add a squeeze of lemon juice and garnish it with fresh parsley.
