Roasted Balsamic Asparagus

This is one of the amazing side dishes I served with Easter dinner.  Can I say delish?!  It was simple, elegant, and, of course, super tasty!

Wait, did I say that already?

Anyway, even if you don't like asparagus, you should try this recipe.  Both of my boys (who have turned their cute little noses up at the super nutritious green spears before) cleaned their little piles of asparagus with no urging!

I got the recipe from Mama Pea and I'm so happy she posted it.  I hope you'll be happy I posted it, too!
