I made one adjustment to the recipe--I cooked it on top of the stove instead of the oven. Worked great! The sauce provided a nice flavored glaze that was nicely seasoned. I will try this again in the oven to compare. Thanks Chris!

This was a wonderful twist to dress up asparagus. I expected more of an Asian flavor, but was pleasantly surprised to find that the apricot/soy/garlic flavors mellowed with the roasting and could easily see this as a side dish to roasts, chicken or fish. Thank you Simple Chris for sharing the recipe.

This turned out fantastic. So easy and very tasty. I like the combination of sweet, salty and garlic. Yumm. I also love that there is a very minimal amount of oil. Thanks for posting- will make again for sure.

Great tasting asparagus. The soy sauce and apricot preserves roasted into a nice, mildly sweet sauce. Thanx for a wonderful recipe. I'll make this again.
