*This is so simple, but simply delicious. It's one of my favorite ways to make asparagus!

Servings: 2


• 1 pound fresh asparagus (12 to 14 medium), trimmed and peeled
• 1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil (preferably extra-virgin)
• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

Preheat oven to 500°F.

In a large shallow baking pan toss asparagus with oil and salt and pepper to taste until coated well. Roast asparagus, shaking pan every 2 minutes, until tender and lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Remove pan from oven and drizzle vinegar over asparagus, shaking pan to combine well.
