Roasted Asparagus
DESCRIPTION

Roasted asparagus is a simple yet flavorful dish made by roasting fresh asparagus spears with garlic, salt, and black pepper. The high heat of roasting brings out the natural sweetness of the asparagus while creating a slightly charred exterior. The result is a tender, crisp-tender vegetable side dish with a savory, salty taste that complements various main courses.

WINE PAIRING

Roasted asparagus with garlic, salt, and black pepper pairs well with Sauvignon Blanc, a crisp white wine known for its herbaceous and grassy notes. The wine's high acidity complements the vegetable's slight bitterness, while its light body doesn't overpower the delicate flavors. Alternatively, a light-bodied Cabernet Franc or a sparkling wine can also work, as their acidity and effervescence cut through the richness of the roasted vegetables.
