Roasted Asparagus
This is our preferred means of preparation for asparagus. It perfectly balances the ideal texture of asparagus without any loss of flavor. Balsamic vinegar enhances the carmelized taste of the roasting of the asparagus. This is a wonderful side dish (even if you're not a fan of veggies!). Originally served as part of Mafalde and Roasted Asparagus.
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh asparagus
- 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon garlic (minced)
- salt & pepper
- drizzle balsamic vinegar
Instructions
We begin by pre-heating the oven to 400 degrees. We cover a cookie sheet with aluminum foil. We rinse the asparagus, dry, and place on the cookie sheet. We drizzle with the olive oil, tossing well, and sprinkle on salt and pepper. We add the garlic and put in the oven. We roast the asparagus for about 15 minutes until tender.
We drizzle on balsamic vinegar and serve.
