ROASTED ASPARAGUS WITH BALSAMIC VINEGAR



Roasted Asparagus With Balsamic Vinegar image

I found this recipe in one of my cooking light magazines and decided to give it a try. I have never cooked asparagus before this and was unsure how it was going to turn out, but I thought it tasted really good. The balsamic browned butter gives it a really good taste and the asparagus comes out perfect when baked in the oven.
