Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Pat drumsticks dry, then rub with garlic powder and 1/2 tsp salt.
  2. Step 2: In a small bowl, mix miso paste, coconut aminos, and 1 tbsp water until smooth. Brush half over drumsticks.
  3. Step 3: Place drumsticks on a parchment-lined sheet pan. Arrange asparagus around them, then brush remaining miso mixture over asparagus.
  4. Step 4: Roast for 25 minutes until drumsticks are golden and asparagus is tender-crisp, basting once halfway through.
  5. Step 5: Let rest 5 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute.
