Roasted Asparagus with Balsamic Browned Butter
I love asparagus and spring = asparagus. It’s not ready in Ohio yet, since we haven’t had spring yet, but I couldn’t resist buying some when it was on sale last week. My absolute favorite recipe for asparagus is Roasted Asparagus with Balsamic Browned Butter. I could seriously eat the sauce with a spoon if I was okay with having a heart attack. Well, it’s not that bad, but it is butter based. And I did lick the spoon for sure.
We had the asparagus with Sway fillets and leftover Cabbage Gratin. There were some very young asparagus plants in our garden this year, so I hope they’ll be edible this year!
