Ingredients

2 lb. fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into 3-inch pieces
4 scallions (green onions) cut diagonally into 2-inch pieces (1 cup)
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced and cut into 2-inch pieces
1 teaspoon miso paste
½ teaspoon chopped fresh tarragon leaves
½ teaspoon garlic powder
2 to 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F. Line two shallow baking pans with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large bowl combine asparagus, scallions, and sweet pepper. In a small bowl stir together 2 Tbsp. water, the miso paste, tarragon, and garlic powder. Drizzle over vegetables; toss to coat. Place vegetables in a single layer in prepared pans.
Roast 7 to 9 minutes or until vegetables are just tender. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar and season with black pepper. If desired, garnish with additional fresh tarragon.
