Roasted Aspargus With Scallions and Sun-Dried Tomatoes

From a local source. Be sure the asparagus spears are of uniform size so that they roast evenly. I used this recipe: Sun-Dried Tomatoes in Olive Oil for making my own homemade sun-dried tomatoes. Saved $$!

• Ready In: 22 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 1 1⁄2 lbs asparagus, bottoms trimmed
• 1  bunch scallion, ends trimmed and sliced into 1-inch pieces
• 2  tablespoons  finely chopped sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, plus
• 1 -2  tablespoon  sun-dried tomato olive oil (from the jar or read intro^^)
•  salt, to taste
•  cracked black pepper, to taste

Directions

1. Heat oven to 450 degrees.
2. In a large bowl, combine the asparagus, scallions, and the oil from the sun-dried tomatoes. Toss to coat well. (Time willing, I try to combine the ingredients at least an hour in advance to allow the mixture to marinate.).
3. Transfer the asparagus to a baking sheet and arrange in single layer.
4. Season with salt and pepper.
5. Roast 7 minutes. Stir the mixture and roast until tender and slightly browned, approximately 5 minutes longer.
6. Stir in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes.
7. Serve immediately or at room temperature.
