Delicious and easy! The sauce doesn't overpower the flavor of the asparagus, and won't clash with your main dish. I may increase the soy & vinegar by half again as much the next time I make it, but it was divine as written! I liked roasting the asparagus rather than boiling nutrients away. Smelled great in the oven, too!

This recipe is good and very simple to make. I had fat asparagus so I went 3 min longer, but should have stuck to the 12 minutes. Made it for Tuscan Style Short Ribs and it was the perfect compliment. The soy and balsamic complimented each other and didn't overwhelm the light balsamic glaze on the ribs. Will make again

I sampled the asparagus when I took it out of the oven and it was good. However, I didn't care for it as much with the sauce. The rest of my family felt the same.
