  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, combine the fresh thyme, garlic, olive oil, butter, salt, and pepper.
  • Add half the mixture to the pan with the potatoes and toss to coat.
  • Transfer the pan to the oven and roast the potatoes for about 15 minutes.
  • Add the asparagus and remaining oil mixture to the pan and toss again to coat everything.
