Fresh green asparagus in the oven with vegetables

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   Prepare all the necessary vegetables. Take a sprig of sweet aromatic cherry tomatoes, green young asparagus, mini bell peppers and garlic.

2. STEP 2

   

   Rinse everything well and thoroughly in clean cold water.

3. STEP 3

   

   Cut off the thick stalks at the base of asparagus; they are usually very tough and are not suitable for further cooking. I cut about 2 centimeters from each branch.

4. STEP 4

   

   Separate the head of garlic into cloves. Rinse the unpeeled garlic in clean water and then dry with paper towels. Press down on each clove with a knife to flatten it slightly.

5. STEP 5

   

   Place the cloves in a baking dish (I usually use a glass or ceramic dish for this dish). Drizzle the garlic with a little olive oil and lightly salt and pepper. Place the pan in the preheated oven (set top-bottom mode, temperature 200 degrees), bake the garlic for 20 minutes.

6. STEP 6

   

   Use a toothpick to poke several holes in the tomatoes and peppers.

7. STEP 7

   

   Carefully remove the pan from the oven (be careful not to burn yourself!). Add cherry tomatoes, bell peppers and asparagus to the baked garlic. I cut each asparagus spear in half because whole spears didn't fit in the pan. Drizzle a little olive oil over the top again, add salt and pepper to taste.

8. STEP 8

   

   I usually add a pinch of nutmeg and a mixture of herbs de Provence, they go well with vegetables. Place the pan back in the oven and bake for about 30 minutes.

9. STEP 9

   

   The vegetables are ready and ready to serve!

A wonderful and simple recipe. Asparagus, of course, is not for everybody, but you can replace it with cauliflower, add chili or any favorite vegetable and it will be perfect.
