preheat oven to 425, drizzle asparagus with olive oil and sprinkle with either salt and pepper or tony chachres cajun seasoning, bake 15 or so minutes until bright green.
i put them in a ziplock w/ some balsamic and a little bit of olive oil about 20-30 minutes before i roast them. s&p, roast, top w/ crumbled goat cheese as soon as they come out of the oven.

Oooh this sounds delish!
I usually just toss with olive oil, s+p, fresh garlic, and roast, but I'll be trying this next time.

This marinated asparagus is really good, and I like cold veggies in the summer.
1 C Olive Oil 1/3 C red wine vinegar 1 Tbsp salt 1 tsp sugar 1/4 C chopped green bell pepper 1 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley 2 Tbsp chopped pimento 2 Tbsp chopped green onion 1 lb. thin fresh asparagus, trimmed and blanched.
Combine oil, vinegar, salt, sugar, bell pepper, parsley, pimento and green onion in a shallow non-metalic bowl. Add asparagus, tossing to coat. Cover and marinate several hours in the refrigerator. Serve chilled or at room temperature. Serves 4.
I usually use regular oil instead of olive oil because it solidifies when it gets cold, and I don't take it out of the fridge early enough to let it warm up.
Also I just usually put the asparagus in the flat dish and pour the other stuff on top, and then put it in the fridge. I have a plastic dish that you marinate in so it is easy to just turn it over once in a while.
