Ingredients
Vegetables
- 12 oz. medium rainbow carrots, peeled, cut on a bias into 1 1/2-inch chunks (thicker portions halved)
- 9 oz. radishes, ends trimmed, halved
- 1 medium shallot, peeled and sliced
- 12 oz. asparagus, tough ends trimmed, cut into 2-inch portions
Seasonings and Dressing
- 2 Tbsp olive oil, divided
- 1 1/2 tsp Herbs de Provence, divided
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 2 tsp honey (warmed if needed to make it runny)
- 2 tsp fresh lemon juice
- 2 tsp Dijon mustard
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Heat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a rimmed 18 by 13-inch baking sheet with parchment paper or spray with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Toss First Vegetables: In a large mixing bowl, combine the carrots, radishes, and shallot with 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil and 1 teaspoon Herbs de Provence. Season with salt and black pepper to taste, tossing well to evenly coat.
- Roast First Vegetables: Spread the vegetable mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, allowing them to begin softening and caramelizing.
- Prepare Asparagus: While the first vegetables roast, in the same mixing bowl, toss the asparagus with the remaining 1/2 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon Herbs de Provence, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Add Asparagus and Continue Roasting: After the initial 10 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven and evenly add the asparagus on top of the partially roasted vegetables.
- Finish Roasting: Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, or until all vegetables are tender and slightly golden, roasting to your desired softness.
- Make Dressing and Serve: In a small mixing bowl, whisk together honey, fresh lemon juice, and Dijon mustard. Drizzle the dressing evenly onto a serving platter, add the roasted vegetables, and lightly toss to coat. Serve warm for best flavor.
Notes
- You can substitute fresh thyme or rosemary for Herbs de Provence if unavailable.
- Warming the honey slightly helps it blend smoothly into the dressing.
- Adjust roasting time depending on your oven and vegetable thickness for preferred tenderness.
- This dish pairs well with grilled meats or can be enjoyed as a light vegetarian main.
