Fresh green asparagus in the oven with vegetables

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Prepare all the necessary vegetables. Take a sprig of sweet fragrant cherry tomatoes, green young asparagus, bell peppers "mini" and garlic.

2. Step 2:

   

   Rinse everything well and thoroughly in clean cold water.

3. Step 3:

   

   Cut off the thick stalks from the asparagus at the base, they are usually very tough and will not be suitable for further cooking. I cut about 2 centimeters from each twig.

4. Step 4:

   

   Disassemble the garlic head into teeth. Rinse the unpeeled garlic in clean water, and then dry with paper napkins. Press down each tooth with a knife to flatten it slightly.

5. Step 5:

   

   Send the teeth into a baking dish (I usually use a glass mold or a ceramic one for this dish). Pour a little olive oil over the garlic, add a little salt and pepper. Send the mold to the preheated oven (set the top-bottom mode, the temperature is 200 degrees), bake the garlic for 20 minutes.

7. Step 6:

   

   Use a toothpick to make several punctures in tomatoes and peppers.

8. Step 7:

   

   Carefully remove the mold from the oven (carefully, do not get burned!). Add cherry tomatoes, bell peppers and asparagus to the baked garlic. I cut each stalk of asparagus in half, as whole twigs did not fit into the mold. Pour a small amount of olive oil on top again, add salt to taste and pepper.

9. Step 8:

   

   I usually add a pinch of nutmeg and a mixture of Provencal herbs, they go well with vegetables. Put the mold back in the oven and bake for about 30 minutes more.

    Vegetables are ready, you can serve to the table!
