Ingredients

  • 12 asparagus stalks, remove bottom ½ – 1 inch

  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes cut in halves

  • 1 cup fresh mozzarella cheese

  • ½ cup fresh basil – washed and cut

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • Balsamic vinegar for garnish

Directions

  • Preheat the oven to 375F.
  • Put parchment paper on a baking tray. Spread the asparagus and make sure they don’t overlap.
  • Add salt, pepper, and optionally garlic powder.
  • Spread mozzarella cheese and add a little salt and pepper (optional) to your taste.
  • On the side of the tray or on another spread the tomatoes and top with basil, salt, pepper, and balsamic vinegar.
  • Put the tray in the oven and bake for about 15 to 20 minutes or until the cheese is melting.
  • Take a long serving tray and place the baked asparagus then garnish with balsamic vinegar. Place tomatoes on the side.
  • Enjoy with bread! This goes great with toasted crusty bread like baguette. You can spread the tomatoes on top, and avocado goes well on it too.
