Keto Caprese Roasted Asparagus

This Keto Caprese Roasted Asparagus has a bright texture and healthy fats. We prepare this roasted asparagus with cherry tomatoes, black pepper, oregano, mozzarella, basil leaves, garlic, olive oil, salt, and balsamic glaze. This roasted asparagus contains 180 calories and four grams. We make this roasted asparagus in twenty-five. This Keto Caprese Roasted Asparagus is perfect for appetizers, sides, busy days, morning breakfasts, get-togethers, parties, meals, celebrations, events, and dinners. Asparagus and mozzarella will lose their texture after defrosting, so we do not recommend it. However, as it only keeps in the refrigerator for three days, you can make it earlier. You can serve this roasted asparagus with Herb-Marinated Shrimp Skewers, Cauliflower Crust Margherita Pizza, Tuna & Cucumber Lettuce Wraps, Prosciutto-Wrapped Mozzarella Bites, or Keto Chicken Bone Broth.

INGREDIENT NOTES AND THEIR KETO SUBSTITUTIONS:

ASPARAGUS:

• We have to use asparagus, as it will provide a crunchy texture and fiber content. Green beans, zucchini spears, or broccoli florets can be used in their place.

CHERRY TOMATOES:

• You can use cherry tomatoes, which will give a color and a sweet taste. As an alternative, we can use sautéed mushrooms, roasted red bell peppers, or olives.

MOZZARELLA CHEESE:

• We use mozzarella cheese since it will give this roasted asparagus more richness and protein. You can use feta cheese, burrata, or provolone cheese.

OLIVE OIL:

• Using olive oil will aid in uniformly roasting of the veggies and provide a rich texture. You might also switch it out with melted butter or avocado oil.
