This is a wonderful side dish that can be used with just about any dish. The best part is that it is really easy to make.

1. Oven should be set at 350 F. Take one piece of asparagus and hold by both ends and snap.

2. This will give you a guide as to how much woody stem of the asparagus needs to be cut off (usually about 2 inches).

3. Trim the rest of the asparagus pieces to that size, then cut on diagonal into 2 inch pieces.

4. Put asparagus in large plastic bag, pour in olive oil, vinegar, and season with salt and pepper.

5. Manipulate bag until asparagus is well coated with oil/vinegar mixture, then pour into ceramic or glass baking dish.

6. Cook asparagus 20-30 minutes, removing from oven when asparagus is still slightly crisp and firm.

7. You might want to serve this with a few drops of that very expensive balsamic vinegar you've been saving drizzled over just before serving.
