Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 1 lb asparagus, firm and bright green
• 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
• 1 clove garlic
• Sea salt and ground black pepper to taste
• Cooking spray

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Break off woody stems of each asparagus spear. Rinse well under running water. Asparagus grows in sand and needs a good washing if you don’t want your final dish to be gritty.
2. Toss spears in olive oil, vinegar and garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Lay in a single layer in a shallow baking dish coated with cooking spray. Bake 6-10 minutes until just done. Superb!
