Recipe of the Week: Asparagus Spears in a Soy Sauce Glaze

This dish is yummy and only takes about 20 minutes to prepare and make.  It's a great way to spice up asparagus.  Serve it tonight but save some for lunch tomorrow, they make great leftovers.

Enjoy!

Preheat over to 450 degrees
Cut 1 1/2 pounds trimmed and peeled asparagus into long pieces
Place them in a shallow roasting pan in one layer
Combine 1 Tablespoon each vegetable oil and soy sauce and 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes (or roasted red pepper flakes) in a small bowl
Drizzle asparagus with the soy sauce glaze and sprinkle with the pepper to taste
Roast asparagus, turning the spears and brushing them with the glaze once or twice until the thickest part of the stalks can be pierced with a knife, about 10 -15 minutes.
