Asparagus - Balsamic Roasted New Potatoes with Asparagus




A simple, delicious side dish featuring seasonal asparagus and new potatoes with the subtle sweetness of balsamic vinegar. 

Potatoes First

Preheat oven to 390F.

Line a large casserole dish or cookie sheet with parchment. Spread the potatoes in the dish. mix with oil, vinegar and salt.

Bake the potatoes for about 40 minutes.  (Could also steam them.)
  • new potatoes, cut into quarters
  • A generous pinch of salt and pepper
  • 2 tbsp garlic-infused olive oil - omit if avoiding oil
  • 4 tbsp balsamic vinegar


Asparagus Last 15 Minutes

Mix in asparagus and cook for an additional for about 15 minutes. 
  • asparagus tips, cut into 2 inch pieces or halved  (OR green beans)

Serve and enjoy!

CAUTION:  In the photo below, the potatoes were good, but the asparagus overdone and dry.  I did not use foil or a cover and I think I cooked the asparagus with the potatoes the whole time instead of the last 15 minutes.



You can use green beans instead of asparagus in this recipe!

This is before baking.  All I had on hand were frozen green beans, which are not as good, but it turned out OK.  I forgot to take a photo after they were cooked.
