One of the things I look forward to most at the farmer’s market are fresh tomatoes. With 30 degree weather still in the air (and a few snow flakes here and there), it’s hard to believe it’s actually Spring, and although there is already an abundance of asparagus in the stores, I’ll have to wait a few more months for some farm fresh tomatoes. Boxed or canned tomatoes are of course available year round, so I stock up on these pantry items during the off-season.

The other night, I was craving Roasted Asparagus and Tomatoes that I usually make using fresh cherry tomatoes. No worries, I just oven roasted some canned whole tomatoes that were drizzled with olive oil, Herbes de Provence, minced garlic and a little salt. I tossed in some asparagus as well, and voila, I had a simple, pretty vegetable dish for dinner.

This is an easy recipe and fits perfectly into the Mediterranean Diet and would be perfect as the vegetable component of MyPlate. There’s really no reason you can’t eat healthy and enjoy your food.

Today, I’m participating in Food Network’s Sensational Sides event where Things Found In The Pantry is the feature this week. Please be sure to check out what all my fellow foodies made:

Oven Roasted Tomatoes and Asparagus

This is a quick and easy vegetable dish that requires little attention since it's cooked in the oven. Of course, if you can get your hands on some ripe, fresh tomatoes, use them instead of the canned/boxed tomatoes.
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 30 minutes
Total Time 40 minutes
Servings 4

Ingredients

  • 1 28- ounce can or box of whole peeled tomatoes
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil divided
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried Herbes de Provence
  • 1 bunch fresh asparagus bottoms trimmed, but into 1 1/2" pieces
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Drain tomatoes and reserve liquid for another use. Split open tomatoes, remove seeds, and place on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil, and season with Herbes de Provence, salt and pepper. Bake for 15 minutes.
  2. Toss asparagus with 1 tablespoon olive oil and salt and pepper, to taste. Place asparagus on baking tray with tomatoes, making sure vegetables remain in a single layer. Bake 15 more minutes.

    I’m holding my breath until asparagus season here in Rhode Island — another month to wait. There is nothing like farm fresh asparagus (except, maybe, your own asparagus patch)!
