Roasted Asparagus with Balsamic Browned Butter

My absolute favorite way to prepare asparagus now.  The balsamic browned butter also tastes great on green beans. – Kathy

• Cooking spray
• ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
• ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 teaspoons low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
  

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400° F.
2. Arrange asparagus in a single layer on baking sheet; coat with cooking spray. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake for 12 minutes or until tender.
