I found this recipe in one of my cooking light magazines and decided to give it a try. I have never cooked asparagus before this and was unsure how it was going to turn out, but I thought it tasted really good. The balsamic browned butter gives it a really good taste and the asparagus comes out perfect when baked in the oven.

A winner! I've never made brown butter before or at least on purpose and it's delicious! Ran out of soy sauce so I substituted Braggs Liquid Aminos which is very similar but more healthy. Will make this again.

My family absolutely LOVES asparagus prepared just about any way, but I believe this one is the best I have every made......and VERY easy! EVERYONE loved it! I should have made a double recipe. It would be nice enough to serve to guests as well.

Got this receipe from my sister. My family and I love asparagus and this is absolutely our favorite way of having it. The vinegar and soy sauce offer such an interesting taste, and the butter smoothes it out beautifully. I woudn' hesitate to make this for someone who isn't sure if they like asparagus because it really delivers a good asparagus taste without being overpowering.

I cut this recipe in half and I quite enjoyed the taste. I undercooked the asparagus slightly, removed them from the oven, coated them with the dressing then put then in my little toaster to keep warm until the rest of the meal was ready. A nice sprinkling of parmesan cheese might have been nice, but I was using parmesan in another dish. I would do this dish again!! Thanks for the posting!
