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.

I love asparagus and these roasted ones with balsamic are just perfect. I bet you guys will have quite the spread for Easter!! Wish we were closer, I would dress up like a bunny just to get some great eats!
Roasting is one of my favourite ways to enjoy asparagus – never tried dressing them up with balsamic vinegar though, but sure sounds tasty!
Mmm…this looks so wonderful. We’re not in Asparagus season yet, here in Ontario, but I can’t wait until we are. Just four or five more weeks to go!
