I have made and shared this recipe many times since finding it in Cooking Light magazine! My husband loves it! I can't imagine a better recipe anywhere for fresh asparagus! It is super easy and as elegant as you can get for a dinner party. Kudos to the original creator of this recipe!

This is so so SO delicious! Like others I switched the amounts of the soy sauce and vinegar, which worked well. Everyone ate theirs before anything else and told me to go out and buy some more asparagus to make more!

So simple and so good -- can't go wrong with balsamic and asparagus together.

This is a good recipe though I think I feel like roast asparagus itself is delicious and I was interested to see how the sauce would add to that. It definitely does, I like the balsamic and soy sauce combination (I use reduced sodium soy sauce) but it didn't blow my mind or anything. But it was very nice. I think the sauce could also be drizzled over most proteins successfully.

I decided to try using mushrooms and zucchini in addition to the asparagus. I tossed all the veggies in olive oil with kosher salt and pepper, then roasted the mushrooms and zukes for 15 minutes before adding the asparagus. Because I had more veggies, I doubled the sauce, swapping the amounts of vinegar and soy sauce and browning the butter first. Even though I subbed half the butter for light margarine (which I added with the vinegar and soy sauce), the sauce turned out AMAZING. We could hardly believe how good it was! We loved it on both the veggies (the mushrooms and zucchini were a great addition) and steamed rice. This recipe is a keeper for sure.

This was delicious and the only way I can get my kids to eat asparagus. The minute I sat it on the table all I heard was "ughs" once I finally got them to try a bite, they couldn't get enough. Thanks!

Before this recipe, my husband and I thought we didn't like asparagus. Now we make this every chance we get. I make the soy sauce and balsamic equal amounts, per other reviews. So delicious!
