These asparagus can be grilled or roasted in the oven. A simple balsamic reduction tops them off. From the tag off the asparagus.

These are really great with the balsamic sauce. I let my sauce simmer a little so that it developed a syrupy type density. That way it stuck to my asparagus that much better! Thanks for sharing. Made for Best of 2009 Tag game.

Lovely and Fresh! I prepared in pan over gas grill for just about five minutes. I also roasted red pepper and onion along with it to make into a roasted veggies salad. Prepared for ZWT5 Team Jammin Java Jivers.
