Maple Oven-Roasted Asparagus

Recipe Description

This Maple Oven-Roasted Asparagus is one of the greatest recipes to cook during asparagus season when this delicious and healthy vegetable is best. In this recipe, fresh asparagus is mixed with balsamic vinegar and maple syrup before roasting it in the oven until it is tender. Before serving, top with a combination of feta cheese, pumpkin seeds and dried cranberries.

Start by making the asparagus coating from olive oil, maple syrup and balsamic vinegar. Coat the asparagus with the balsamic mixture and spread on a baking sheet. Transfer to the oven. While the asparagus cooks, make a topping from feta cheese, seeds and cranberries. Once cooked, top with the feta mixture and serve immediately.

To make my version of Maple Oven-Roasted Asparagus, you will need the following ingredients:
