Roasted Asparagus

By andreabenz

Ingredients

• 2 pounds asparagus, trimmed and rinsed
• 3 tablespoons good olive oil
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 4 sprigs fresh rosemary
• 1 teaspoon organic sugar
• 2 teaspoons coarse or sea salt
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Toss asparagus with remaining ingredients, coating well.

Prepare a shallow roasting pan by lining with foil and spraying with non-stick cooking spray. Spread asparagus spears in pan in a single layer, if possible.

Roast until fork tender, about ten minutes. Remove from pan and serve immediately, sprinkling with additional olive oil, salt and pepper as desired.
