Tips:

  • Choose fresh, tender asparagus spears. Look for spears that are bright green and have tightly closed tips.
  • Trim the asparagus spears. Cut off the tough ends of the spears, about 1 inch from the bottom.
  • Blanch the asparagus spears. This helps to tenderize the spears and bring out their bright green color. To blanch the spears, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the asparagus spears and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are bright green and tender-crisp. Immediately remove the asparagus spears from the boiling water and plunge them into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • Pat the asparagus spears dry. This will help the balsamic glaze to stick to the spears.
  • Make the balsamic glaze. In a small saucepan, combine balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the mixture has thickened and reduced by about half.
  • Toss the asparagus spears with the balsamic glaze. Place the asparagus spears in a large bowl and add the balsamic glaze. Toss to coat the spears evenly.
  • Broil the asparagus spears. Preheat the broiler to high. Place the asparagus spears on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Broil the spears for 2-3 minutes, or until they are slightly charred and tender.
  • Serve the asparagus spears immediately. You can garnish the spears with fresh herbs, such as parsley or chives, if desired.

Conclusion:

Balsamic broiled asparagus is a delicious and easy side dish that can be enjoyed any time of year. The asparagus spears are tender-crisp and coated in a flavorful balsamic glaze. This dish is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. It can be served alone or with a main course, such as grilled chicken or fish.
