A delightful twist on roasted asparagus, enhanced with a rich balsamic butter sauce.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and the perfect texture for your asparagus.
Arrange the asparagus in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Using parchment paper prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
Sprinkle the asparagus with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Season evenly for a balanced flavor in every bite.
Roast the asparagus in the oven for 12 minutes or until tender.
Check the asparagus halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Melt the butter in a small skillet over medium heat and cook until it turns light brown, about 3 minutes.
Stir constantly to prevent burning and achieve a nutty aroma.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the soy sauce and balsamic vinegar.
Mix well to combine the flavors into a smooth sauce.
Drizzle the sauce over the roasted asparagus and serve immediately.
Serve hot to enjoy the full flavor of the dish.
