Ingredients

    16 medium asparagus spears
    2 tablespoons olive oil
    1 tablespoon garlic powder
    sea salt to taste
    fresh ground pepper to taste
    2 tablespoon grated parmesan cheese
    6 tablespoons balsamic vinegar - reduced

Directions

Break off woody ends of asparagus spears and place them in a large zip lock bag with the 2 tablespoons olive oil, the garlic powder and the salt and pepper. Close top of bag and move asparagus around until all is coated. Put in refrigerator until ready to use.

When ready to cook, preheat oven to 400 degrees. Dump contents of zip lock bag onto cookie sheet and spread spears into single layer. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese. Roast for 20-30 minutes (until softened and parmesan cheese is crispy). While roasting put balsamic vinegar into small frying pan over high heat and reduce by half to syrup consistency.

Remove asparagus from oven. Put on nice plate and drizzle with the reduced balsamic vinegar. Serve immediately.
