🌶️🍯🧀 Hot Honey Parmesan Roasted Asparagus

Ingredients:

• 1 lb asparagus, trimmed
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese 🧀
• 2–3 tbsp hot honey 🍯🌶️
• Salt & freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment.
2. Toss asparagus with olive oil, Parmesan, hot honey, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
3. Spread in a single layer and roast for 10–15 minutes until tender-crisp and caramelized.

🧀✨ To Finish:

• ½ cup shredded provolone cheese 🧀 (for topping)

Assembly:

1. Once the chicken Alfredo is ready, spoon the creamy mushroom pesto Alfredo over the skillet in generous dollops.
2. Sprinkle provolone over the top. Cover and let melt for 2–3 minutes until bubbly and gooey. For a golden finish, broil for 1 minute (watching carefully).
3. Plate roasted asparagus alongside a generous helping of the double-layered Alfredo chicken.
4. Serve immediately, savoring every bold, creamy, sweet-spicy bite.

🔥 Tips for Success:

• Asparagus Timing: Thinner spears cook faster—check early to avoid over-roasting.
• Hot Honey Heat: Adjust the honey’s spice level to your liking; a smoky hot sauce pairs well.
• Mushroom Browning: Don’t rush—caramelization adds depth.
• Cheese Matters: Choose a high-quality provolone that melts smoothly.
• Sauce Flexibility: Thin any sauce with a splash of broth or water if needed.

🍽️ This dish is a harmony of creaminess, umami, and spicy-sweet brightness—a comfort food experience with gourmet finesse. Enjoy every indulgent bite.
