Preparation Time: 15 minutes

Cooking Time: 20 minutes

What You Need

• 1 lb.  Fresh Asparagus
• 1 teas. Balsamic Vinegar
• 2-3 tbsp. Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• 1 teas. Chopped garlic
• Sea salt and pepper to taste 

How to Prepare

Preheat oven to 425.  Cut asparagus ends on an angle (see picture).  Line a baking sheet with non-stick aluminum foil.  Lay asparagus in a single row-not touching.  In a small bowl, mix balsamic vinegar, olive oil and chopped garlic.  Drizzle mixture over asparagus.  Sprinkle sea salt and pepper lightly on top.  Cook for about 20 minutes until lightly browned.

This recipe is very easily doubled or tripled.  Any extra asparagus can be used either cold in a salad or re-heated, but it will not be crisp.

Enjoy!
