Categories     Vegetable

Time 17m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 lbs asparagus spears (trim or peel any stalks that seem tough)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt (I use kosher salt)

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar

Steps:

  • Arrange asparagus in a single layer on baking sheet; toss to coat with olive oil.
  • Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Bake at 400 degrees for approximately 12 minutes or until tender.
  • Just before asparagus is done, melt butter in a small skillet over medium heat; cook for 3 minutes or until lightly browned, shaking pan occasionally.
  • Do not burn the butter or let it get too brown, should be golden brown.
  • Remove from heat; stir in soy sauce, and vinegar.
  • Drizzle over asparagus, tossing well to coat.

Tips:

  • Choose the right asparagus: Look for asparagus that is bright green and has tightly closed tips. Avoid asparagus that is limp or has brown spots.
  • Trim the asparagus properly: Cut off the woody ends of the asparagus spears. You can do this by snapping them off or using a knife.
  • Cook the asparagus quickly: Asparagus is a delicate vegetable that cooks quickly. Overcooking will make it mushy, so be careful not to cook it for too long.
  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your asparagus with brown butter will taste. Use unsalted butter, fresh lemon juice, and freshly chopped parsley.
  • Serve immediately: Asparagus with brown butter is best served immediately after it is cooked. This will ensure that it is still crispy and flavorful.
