Roasted Asparagus

My husband loves roasted asparagus, so I tried another version today and I used the toaster oven. I found the recipe online. I plan to borrow the cookbook, The Gourmet Toaster Oven: Simple and Sophisticated Meals for the Busy Cook, where this recipe was taken.

10 ounces fresh asparagus, ends trimmed
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
Coarse salt
Capers (optional)

Preheat the toaster oven to 375 degrees.
Toss the asparagus with the olive oil and vinegar in a baking dish and sprinkle with coarse salt.
Bake for about 20 minutes, until the asparagus spears are tender. Serve hot or chill to room temperature and garnish with capers. Or serve cold in a salad.
