Roasted Asparagus With Balsamic Brown Butter Sauce - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 lbs asparagus spears (trim or peel any stalks that seem tough)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt (I use kosher salt)
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 teaspoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar

Preparation

Arrange asparagus in a single layer on baking sheet; toss to coat with olive oil.
Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Bake at 400 degrees for approximately 12 minutes or until tender.
Just before asparagus is done, melt butter in a small skillet over medium heat; cook for 3 minutes or until lightly browned, shaking pan occasionally.
Do not burn the butter or let it get too brown, should be golden brown.
Remove from heat; stir in soy sauce, and vinegar.
Drizzle over asparagus, tossing well to coat.
Serve immediately.
