Roasted Asparagus Balsamic

Total time: 20 minutes
     The soy sauce and Balsamic vinegar coat the asparagus, giving it a slightly sweet, slightly salty flavor.  You can do these on the grill, in a grill pan or roast them, tips toward the door, in the oven.

 Ingredients:

• 16oz (500gr) asparagus, 450gr, 16oz
• 1 tbs olive oil, 13.5gr, .48oz
• 1 tbs Balsamic vinegar, 16gr, .56oz
• 2 tsp soy sauce, 10.6gr, .38oz

 Instructions:

• Snap off ends of asparagus.  If white use vegetable peeler and peel bottom half of stalk. 
• In small bowl whisk olive oil, soy sauce and vinegar. 
• Pour it onto a plate or the baking sheet and roll the asparagus in it, thoroughly coating (use your fingers!). 
• Grill, using a pan, over indirect heat for 8 - 10 minutes, until lightly browned or roast in 400F (200C), oven for 15 minutes.  Remove and serve.
