Roasted Potatoes and Asparagus

Need a great side dishes that area break from the canned green beans and the boxed macaroni and cheese, well I have some for you. This is a great pair you can add to any meal!

What You Need for Both:
A bundle of Asparagus
Olive oil
A bag of red potatoes
Italian seasoning
Salt
Pepper

Roasted Potatoes:
Who doesn't love potatoes, this is a easy side dish to fix and forget and when your main course is ready so is your side dish!
How to Make the Potatoes:
  1. Preheat the over to 45o degrees
  2. Wash the potatoes off, and cut them into quarters
  3. Take and rimmed baking sheet and line it with tin foil
  4. Spread the potatoes on the pan
  5. Drizzle the potatoes with olive oil
  6. Then sprinkle liberally with salt, pepper, and italian seasoning
  7. Place in the oven and bake for 35 minutes

Asparagus:
Need a new veggie to add variety to your meals? A few years ago I discovered how much I really liked Asparagus and love to add it as a side dish to meals.

How to Make the Asparagus:
  1. Wash the Asparagus
  2. Cut the bottoms off
  3. spread on a baking sheet
  4. Drizzle with olive and salt and pepper
  5. Bake at 350 for 15 minutes

**side note**
Since I made these two dishes together I baked the potatoes at 400 degrees for 25 minutes then cut the oven down to 350 and placed the asparagus in the oven for 15 minutes, and they both were finished at the same time. I served it with Balsamic chicken.
