Instructions

Preheat oven to 415° Fahrenheit.

Add carrots and asparagus to large baking sheet (lined with parchment paper or not, depending on your preference).

Add baking tray to preheated oven. Cook for 15 minutes, then carefully remove tray from oven and toss vegetables with spatula, before returning to oven for another 10 minutes or until veggies are tender when poked with tines of fork.
Once vegetables are cooked, remove sheet from oven, and sprinkle them with freshly grated parmesan, adjust salt and black pepper to taste if needed. Serve warm with sides of choice.

Notes

Cooking time will vary by 5 to 10 minutes per size of veggies and oven variation. This recipe was tested with small-medium thickness asparagus. If you use very thin ones, cook carrots 1st for 10 minutes before adding asparagus to baking sheet. Veggies are ready once tender when poked with fork.
