Creating Caprese Roasted Asparagus is a simple process when you follow these easy steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Prepare the Asparagus: Trim the woody ends from the asparagus and place them on a baking sheet.
3. Season: Drizzle the asparagus with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
4. Roast the Asparagus: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the asparagus for 15-20 minutes, or until tender and slightly crispy.
5. Add Tomatoes and Mozzarella: Remove the asparagus from the oven, and scatter the halved cherry tomatoes and mozzarella balls over the top.
6. Return to Oven: Place the baking sheet back in the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the mozzarella is soft and begins to melt.
7. Add Fresh Basil: Once out of the oven, sprinkle chopped fresh basil over the entire dish.
8. Drizzle with Balsamic Glaze: If desired, add a drizzle of balsamic glaze for extra flavor.
9. Serve Immediately: Allow it to cool slightly and serve warm.
