Balsamic Glazed Asparagus

I love to eat vegetables!! There is no simpler way for me to state it! One of my favorites is a Balsamic Glazed Asparagus! It is so delicious! I had found a recipe on Pinterest but the other night just freestyled it by memory and although it was not exactly right it was pretty good! That is something I enjoy about the kitchen, there are so many ways to be creative and play with different recipes to your preference. This one is a huge hit in our house and tastes extra good with wine! In the recipe below I do not give exact measurements for how much olive oil and balsamic to use, use however much you want or prefer! The olive oil is just for roasting and balsamic is such a strong flavor that it doesn't take much to get that yummy taste included! Let me know how your version goes!
