Balsamic-Glazed Ontario Asparagus

• 1 lb (500 g) Ontario Asparagus, trimmed
• 1 tbsp (15 mL) olive oil
• 1/4 tsp (1 mL) each of salt and pepper
• 1/4 cup (50 mL) balsamic vinegar
• 2 tbsp (25 mL) grated Ontario Parmesan Cheese

Toss asparagus with oil, salt and pepper; place in single layer on baking sheet. Bake in 400°F (200°C) oven for 8 to 10 minutes or until tender-crisp.

Meanwhile, in small saucepan, bring vinegar to boil; reduce heat and simmer until reduced by half and syrup-like, about 5 minutes.

Place roasted asparagus in serving dish; drizzle with vinegar reduction. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

Serve immediately.
