Why You’ll Love This Recipe!

The Farmer’s Market season is in full swing here in the Portland area.  There are so many great ones to choose from.  You will usually find us at one or the other every Saturday morning during the spring and summer.  I love buying and cooking with fresh local produce.  Eating real food not only is better for you, it just tastes better!

For the last few weeks I have been picking up a bunch of asparagus every week1. It is one of our favorite vegetables at our house.

How to Make Roasted Balsamic Asparagus

One of my favorite things about roasted asparagus is how quickly it comes together.  Because I prefer and use thin asparagus it only takes about 5 minutes in the oven. 

• Trim off woody ends of aspargus
• Place on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil.Sprinkle with salt.
• Roast in 400 degree F oven just until tender.Time will vary depending on size of asparagus, 5-10 minutes.
• While roasting melt butter in a sauce pan.
• Cook until the butter turns brown. Do not let it burn!
• Add balsamic vinegar and soy sauce.
• Remove asparagus from oven and place on serving dish.
• Drizzle with browned butter mixture and eat immediately.
