Roasted Asparagus with Balsamic Vinegar Recipe
I haven’t finalized our Easter dinner menu yet, I want to make too many things:) I do know that asparagus will be one of our side dishes. Asparagus is in season and I can’t get enough. We made our lemon asparagus the other night for dinner and it was divine. I think we will make roasted asparagus with balsamic vinegar on Sunday to switch things up a bit.
I love how simple this recipe is. All you have to do is drizzle the asparagus spears with balsamic vinegar and a little bit of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and roast in the oven for 10-12 minutes.
I love asparagus in many forms, but roasting it with a little balsamic vinegar really brings out the best flavor. This healthy side dish is the perfect accompaniment to any spring meal. Add it to your menu today.

Roasted asparagus is one of my favorites! Sounds like a terrific dish for Easter.
Must be an asparagus kind of day (see my post). Asparagus is so fresh and amazing right now! I’m totally picking more up this weekend (hopefully at the farmers market!!). Have a fantastic one
Roasting it is my favorite way to eat it, too!
I love asparagus! When they are roasted, they have a lot more taste… Great combo!
Cheers,
Rosa
That looks delicious!
Sinple but delicious!
I rarely crave veggies, but this is making me want some!
Yum!
Roasted asparagus is one of my favorite things to eat in the springs….oh I can’t wait until the farmers market opens & we can get some
Yum Maria!! I want some for breakfast
I love cooking asparagus like this!
I’ve just recently started coming around to eating asparagus! It’s got to be oven roasted, though. Love this version!
Two of my favorite things. Asparagus and balsamic. Thanks for the recipe.
Roasting the asparagus really gives it a lovely flavor. Nice touch with the balsamic vinegar.
I made something similar to this the other day. I bought white asparagus yesterday so I think I will try it on that too.
I just bought some asparagus yesterday! Now I can jazz it up. Thanks
Mmm, bookmarking this for this weekend!
Roasted vegetables with Balsamic Vinegar is the best!
I recall asparagus as a kid and how much I hated them; think it was actually canned. I truly think I could eat asparagus every day and wondering if you have ever grilled them? Very similar but definitely results in a flavor component from the grill and cleanup…well, none!
What a great recipe! I love balsamic vinegar!
Asparagus is my favorite vegetable and I love finding new ways to make it. This sounds divine. Thanks for sharing it. I want to come to Easter brunch at your house
What a great twist! I, as well, can’t seem to get enough fresh asparagus right now! I just had some last night. I’ll use this tip when I prepare the rest of it. YUM!
I’m with you, roasted or grilled asparagus demands simplicity…some good olive oil and quality balsamic.
Oooh, that sounds like a fab combination. I love roasted asparagus but I’ve never tried drizzling it with balsamic before cooking before — can’t wait to try it!
This looks wonderfully seasonal. Perfect as a side-dish for Easter Sunday.
I am only in charge of the dessert for Easter and I am overwhelmed with that alone! So many choices…I can’t choose!
This asparagus looks delightful. I’ve been loving it as well lately. Next time I’ll spruce it up with some balsamic!
Asparagus and Easter just seem to go together. I love this simple recipe. Thanks for sharing!
I’m having some asparagus for lunch as I read this. Love it. So do my boys, actually. Which is really nice when the kids actually like a vegetable. I’ve never tried it with balsamic. Mmm!
This is a great recipe. I mean, how utterly brilliant to drizzle the asparagus in the oil and vinegar before roasting instead of after! Wonderful way to cook and serve asparagus. Sometimes simple is really the best!
Roasted asparagus is amazing and I love this version with balsamic vinegar. Yum!
I just love roasting asparagus. They haven’t come into my farmer’s market yet and I’m just dying for something to tell me yes, Spring is really really here.
Sounds fab! I love asparagus. Mmm.
i am SO all about balsamic as of late. I can’t wait to share a recipe soon! Love asparagus..can’t wait to try this!
I love balsamic with asparagus – this is a tasty and healthy side dish.
fact: the only redeeming quality i find in asparagus is its appearance. if it weren’t so darn pretty, i’d have no use for it at all.
I LOVE asparagus! we eat it so often in the spring. although normally i just cook it with some olive oil, salt and pepper. I need to branch out a little. this looks delicious
I need to make more asparagus. Did you want the cookie Stealing Bunny to visit or the Easter bunny?
I love asparagus…I think we might make it for Easter.
I just started my asparagus fever. I made a frittata today. Roasted asparagus is something everyone will love.
this is gorgeous, perfect for spring!
Love asparagus here too! Your photos just make one want to reach right in and take some!
