tips for the best roasted asparagus and mushrooms
- Bake everything in a single layer on the tray.
- If you don’t like baby bella you can use white mushrooms
- Arrange the asparagus and the mushrooms separately so you can plate it easier as we do above.
- No need to use aluminum foil or parchment paper. If you’re using a good quality pan there should be easy cleanup with this recipe. By using foils and papers or even silicone you may not get a nice roast on your vegetables. Need new baking sheets? Our top pick is USA Bakeware which has a silicone coating and they are PTFE and PFOA free. There’s also stainless steel bakeware which does not contain aluminum, but we have not tested these. The USA bakeware is very easy to clean.
- Keep your pans clean by washing right away. If you let the pans sit too long before cleaning you’ll have to use a bit more effort to clean the mess.

Made this as a side dish and the family loved it.. Will be making it again..
So glad you all enjoyed! It’s definitely a favorite around here too 🙂
This made a wonderful side dish for a party buffet. I used a raspberry balsamic vinegar which gave it a delicious flavor. While roasting it my husband, who does not like vegetables, commented that it smelled so good he might be tempted to give them a try!
Oooh, love the sound of the raspberry balsamic – perfect combination! 😀 I hope you all enjoyed!
