Garlic Roasted Balsamic Asparagus, because it's delicious

A healthy side-dish is always a good choice. Here's a healthy and delicious side dish for you to enjoy. It's a perfect addition to any lean protein, but also tastes great on its own as a snack. Let me know what you think of it!

What ya need:
  • 1 pound of fresh asparagus 
  • 1 tablespoon of quality olive oil (you don't need extra virgin, unless you prefer it) 
  • 1 tablespoon of high-quality balsamic vinegar 
  • 1/2 teaspoon of fresh, minced garlic 
  • 1/2 teaspoon of kosher sea salt 
  • 1/4 teaspoon of fresh ground black pepper

Ok, so:
Preheat your oven to 425ºF. Cut off the tough lower ends (about lower 1/6) of the asparagus and throw those away. Rinse what's left of the stalk and pat dry. Place these stalks on a cookie sheet, in a single layer, and drizzle with the oil and vinegar. After the stalks are coated, sprinkle the garlic, salt, and pepper over them.  Now bake at 425ºF for 5 minutes. Turn, or toss, the stalks and bake for another 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and serve warm. You don't want to have the asparagus lose all of its integrity and become mushy, so be careful to not over cook it. Enjoy!
