    This Easter, my father-in-law made turkey, so I decided to bring 2 simple side dishes and a decadent pie for dessert.

    The first side was this beautiful and tasty asparagus dish.

    Baked Asparagus with Balsamic Butter Sauce

    Asparagus is baked until tender and topped with melted butter that is infused with soy and balsamic. It's really easy, and if you use dairy-free butter, it can even be vegan.

    This is definitely a great, simple side dish that would be great with a variety of main courses.

    “This is a simple and delicious side dish. Fresh asparagus is baked until tender, and dressed with a blend of butter, soy sauce, and balsamic vinegar.”

    1 bunch fresh asparagus, trimmed
    cooking spray
    salt and pepper to taste
    2 tablespoons butter
    1 tablespoon soy sauce*
    1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar

    Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

    Arrange the asparagus on a baking sheet. Coat with cooking spray, and season with salt and pepper.

    Bake asparagus 12 minutes in the preheated oven, or until tender.

    Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Remove from heat, and stir in soy sauce and balsamic vinegar. Pour over the baked asparagus to serve.

      I envy you finding skinny asparagus! Not a fan of the thick, woody stuff. This looks good!
