Roasted Balsamic Asparagus
about a pound of asparagus
balsamic vinegar
fresh ground black pepper
kosher/flaky salt
olive oil
Rinse and snap ends off asparagus. Toss with 1-2 Tb olive oil. Spread in a single layer on a foil-lined baking sheet. Turn your broiler on to high. Sprinkle asparagus with salt and pepper, and drizzle with 1-2 Tb balsamic vinegar. Less is more! I apologize for the lack of specific measurements, I usually just wing it.
Place baking sheet on the highest rack in your oven, right under the broiler. Broil for 10-15 minutes, until the asparagus have nice, roasty brown spots on them. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with freshly-grated Parmesan cheese (if desired, but totally yummy!) and serve immediately!
