How To Make Baked Asparagus

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Arrange a bunch of asparagus spears (with ends trimmed) in a single layer on a baking sheet and drizzle olive oil over the top. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Cook asparagus in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.

In a small bowl, combine melted butter, soy sauce and balsamic vinegar. Pour over the baked asparagus and serve!

Recipe Notes

• Asparagus with Parmesan cheese is an undeniably delicious combo. After pouring the balsamic butter sauce over the top, sprinkle Parmesan over the top for an extra punch of flavor.

• Sprinkle garlic powder over the asparagus before baking for added flavor.

• Squirt lemon juice over the top juice before serving!

• Use gluten free soy sauce to make this a gluten-free recipe.

Add it to a piece of foil and cook it on the grill with this parmesan salmon. This grilled scallops and veggies dinner isn’t the same without the yummy green stalks!

Can Dogs Eat Asparagus

Dogs can definitely eat the green vegetable, but when uncooked it can cause gas or bloating. Consider steaming it first before feeding it to your pooch.
