Roasted Asparagus with Balsamic Vinegar

It's not quite Summer yet - it's only been officially Spring for 10 days - but in Savannah, we've already been to the beach a couple times and it sure feels like Summer to me!  Fresh asparagus makes me think of the warmer months and this just went great with chicken we made on the grill the other night.  Easy and healthy and I guarantee that your entire family will love this recipe.  Kiddos and all!  

Serves 2-3

1 pound of asparagus
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.  Snap off the woody end of a piece of asparagus and use that as a guide to cut the ends of the rest of the bunch.  Lay them in a single layer on a baking sheet pan, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.  Use your hands to make sure they are all covered.  

Roast for 12-15 minutes, until tender.  Drizzle with balsamic vinegar and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

I'm a super busy mom of the sweetest little girl and baby boy - and 3 dogs! Meal time can get a little hectic and tricky sometimes, which is why my recipes are super simple - though not lacking in flavor, I promise! I love to bake, but love taking care of my family even more so. I know you'll be able to find something here that you're family will request over and over again!
