Oven Roasted Garlic Asparagus

The spring started early this year and in turn, so did the asparagus. Already it is popping up at stores everywhere. There are a lot of great things you can do with asparagus. It has a mild flavor that goes well with so many different dishes. I love using it in an omelette or frittata for breakfast. It is great grilled up and put in a salad. I love it baked, fried, grilled or BBQed. It can really be prepared any way you like!

Ingredients:
1  lb asparagus
1  Tbsp olive oil
3  Tbsp balsamic vinegar
    salt and pepper to taste

Directions:


1) Preheat the oven to 425F.
2) Cut of break the woody ends of the asparagus off. Lay them into the pan and sprinkle with the olive oil, vinegar, salt and pepper.
3) Bake for 10-15 minutes depending on the width of the stalks. Serve hot!
