Ingredients

  • 1 pound asparagus thicker stalks are better, with the hard ends snapped off
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper about ¼ teaspoon salt, ⅛ teaspoon pepper--freshly ground is best
  • ½ cup balsamic vinegar
  • ¼ cup feta cheese crumbled

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Toss asparagus with olive oil.
  • Cook for about 8-10 minutes or until asparagus is tender, but not soggy and slightly browned.
  • Bring balsamic vinegar to a boil over medium-high heat.
  • Reduce heat to low and simmer for about 30-35 minutes, stirring occasionally. Vinegar should be reduced by half and a syrupy consistency.
  • Drizzle balsamic reduction over asparagus and top with feta cheese.
