Asparagus Tangerine Gastrique (Printable Version)

# What You'll Need:

→ Roasted Asparagus

01 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
02 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
03 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
04 - 12 ounces fresh asparagus spears, trimmed

→ Tangerine Gastrique

05 - 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
06 - 1/4 cup freshly squeezed tangerine juice
07 - 1/4 cup granulated sugar

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Pop the roasted asparagus onto your favorite platter, then pour the cozy tangerine gastrique all over so every piece gets a tasty coat.
02 - Toss the sugar, tangerine juice, and rice wine vinegar into a small pot. Turn on the stove to medium and keep stirring as it starts bubbling. Once it boils, lower the heat and let it bubble gently for about 5 to 10 minutes. You’ll know it’s ready when it looks thicker and sticks to your spoon.
03 - Move the oiled and seasoned asparagus onto your baking sheet, spread them out in one layer. Roast for about 12 to 15 minutes; you want them just soft with a bit of golden color.
04 - Grab a big bowl and toss the asparagus with olive oil, a sprinkle of salt, and some pepper. Make sure every stalk gets a good coat.
05 - Fire up your oven to 400°F (204°C) so it’s nice and hot for roasting.

# Additional Tips:

01 - As soon as that tangy sauce is warm, go ahead and serve. It looks extra great and tastes awesome right away.
