During the holidays is when I always find myself looking for a new recipe to try. A friend was having a Friendsgiving, and I quickly needed to come up with something to bring. Cue this delightful and simple roasted balsamic new potato ans asparagus recipe.

I just served it up last weekend, and my friend is already begging me hurry up and post it in time for her to make it by Thanksgiving tomorrow. So here I am, and she’s lucky — it really is a pretty easy recipe for how tasty it is!

You guys should know by now that I like to get to the recipe so that you all can get to cooking. I tend to improvise when I cook, and I encourage everyone to do the same. Make it your own. You don’t like salt? Don’t add it. Want to add a kick? Add some red pepper flakes!

FYI, since I took this to a friend’s home, I simply used one of those not-so-fancy disposable roasting tins.

Do enjoy, and don’t forget to leave any comments if you make this awesome roasted potato and asparagus recipe!
