Baked Asparagus with Balsamic Butter Sauce

My family has never been crazy about asparagus but in an attempt to find new ways to get my family to eat more green vegetables, I searched for tasty recipes for asparagus with hopes that we would somehow learn to actually like it. After many failed attempts, I finally came across this recipe, which we all LOVE! Acadia will go back for THIRDS and it's usually her favorite part of the meal! Plus, it's super quick and easy! :)

1 bunch fresh asparagus, trimmed
cooking spray
salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons butter
1 tsp soy sauce
1 Tbs balsamic vinegar

Preheat oven to 500 degrees F.
Arrange the asparagus on a baking sheet. Coat with cooking spray, and season with salt and pepper.
Bake asparagus 5-6 minutes in the preheated oven, or until tender.
Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Remove from heat, and stir in soy sauce and balsamic vinegar. Pour over the baked asparagus to serve.
