Baked Asparagus with Balsamic Sauce
Yield: 4 servings

1 lb bunch fresh asparagus, ends trimmed off 
Canola cooking spray
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon whipped butter
1 tablespoon light soy sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Arrange asparagus spears in a 9 x
13-inch baking dish (or similar). Coat the top of asparagus with
canola cooking spray, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
Bake asparagus until tender (about 10 minutes depending on thickness

heat, then remove pan from heat.  Stir in the soy sauce and vinegar
to make a sauce. Pour the sauce over the baked asparagus spears and
serve.
