SERVES2
Ingredients
- 1 bunch of asparagus, ends trimmed
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper (adjust to taste)
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
- 5 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- Fresh basil leaves, for garnish
- 2 tablespoons CÓCOES Organic Coconut Flower Aminos
- Edible flowers (optional), for garnish
For the vinaigrette:
- 3 tablespoons CÓCOES Organic Coconut Flower Syrup, Light
- 6 tablespoons CÓCOES Organic Coconut Flower Vinegar
- 3 tablespoons CÓCOES Organic Coconut Flower Aminos
Method
- In a large bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, minced garlic, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
- Season with black pepper and add 2 tablespoons of CÓCOES Organic Coconut Flower Aminos. Toss well to coat.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease it. Arrange the asparagus in a single layer, and spread the seasoned cherry tomatoes evenly around them.
- Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the asparagus. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese and an additional pinch of black pepper over the vegetables.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Roast the vegetables for 15-20 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender and the cherry tomatoes are soft and slightly caramelized.
- While the vegetables are roasting, prepare the vinaigrette. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine CÓCOES Organic Coconut Flower Syrup, Vinegar, and Aminos. Stir continuously and simmer gently until the mixture thickens slightly, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Transfer the roasted asparagus and tomatoes to a serving plate. Drizzle the warm vinaigrette over the top. Garnish with fresh basil leaves, additional Parmesan cheese, and edible flowers if desired.
- Serve immediately as a flavorful side dish or a light main course. Enjoy!
