This roasted potatoes and asparagus with parmesan is a versatile vegetarian side dish that celebrates the fresh flavours of the season. The combination of earthy potatoes and tender asparagus spears provides a wonderful contrast in textures, while a high-heat roasting technique ensures everything is perfectly crisp and full of flavour. Finishing the vegetables with a generous dusting of Parmigiano-Reggiano adds a salty, savoury depth that beautifully complements the natural sweetness of the roasted greens.

Serve it alongside your favourite protein or a fresh salad for a light, seasonal lunch.
