An easy dinner side dish – Balsamic Roasted Asparagus.
Hi Friends!
We’re talking vegetables again today! I hesitate to even call this a recipe- it’s that simple….but it is one of my family’s favorite side dishes. My mom taught me to make it…and now I make it all the time for Mr. Bean.
Really this is just another post encouraging you to eat more veggies 🙂

I love roasted asparagus. So glad that it’s in season now. 🙂
We actually made balsamic roasted asparagus last night. I should have taken a photo!
i love the slightly sweet taste balsamic gives asparagus! so good!
Yummm! I’ve been on a balsamic reduction kick lately and I have some leftover in the fridge! I might try this with that 🙂
OH THIS LOOKS AWESOME.
with both veggies!!
and happy happy birthday to yer mama.

I LOVE roasting asparagus!!! I’ve never put balsamic on them…yum!!
So simple, yet so tasty! I haven’t had asparagus in months!
I love roasted asparagus! I like to sprinkle a little parmesan on top to add a little extra flavor, but I bet it’s great with balsamic too.
Mmm, asparagus is one of my favorite spring veggies. Happy birthday to your mom, too!
Easy is always good in my book!
I can’t wait until I can find good asparagus in the stores!!
Today is my birthday too! April 9th is a pretty awesome day! These look delicious BTW!
Yum!! Do you have a certain brand of balsamic vinegar that you recommend or does it matter what the quality of it is for something like this?
Holy when everything I love collides! I’m going to make this STAT! I’m a huge lover of asparagus…well and like I said all the ingredients for this recipe. Asparagus for me is like the healthy food that doesn’t make me miserable. It is so versatile and can bulk up any meal. I like to add little bits of laughing cow cheese to mine and throw it in the oven for a bit! Thank you for sharing this yummy deliciousness!

Looks great! Thanks for sharing 🙂
I eat my veggies but I’m not an asparagus fan! It makes my pee smell.
We have grilled or oven-roasted asparagus all the time, I love asparagus season! Hitting roasted veggies up with a little balsamic vinegar near the end of roasting is a very good thing, love the extra sweetness and flavor.
I LOVE roasted asparagus with balsamic. Or carrots with balsamic. OR any roasted veggies with balsamic! So good!
LOVE roasted asparagus, and if you can believe it, it never occurred to me to dress it with balsamic, which is of course perfect. Thank goodness for you!
