Number Of Ingredients 4

1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
salt
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Spread out trimmed asparagus in 1 layer on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Roll asparagus back and forth so it is evenly covered with olive oil
  • Bake in the preheated oven until asparagus is lightly browned and easily pierced with a knife, 20 to 30 minutes depending on the thickness of the asparagus. Flip asparagus after 15 minutes. Season with salt and drizzle with balsamic vinegar. Bake until balsamic vinegar starts to caramelize, about 1 minute more.
