I love to roast my asparagus. I trim it toss with EVOO and spread onto a jellyroll pan. I then separate a couple of heads of garlic (leave the skin on) and toss with olive oil and place on jellyroll pan also. Sprinkle asparagus and garlic with kosher salt and bake at 350 for approx 20 min. Turn over half way through baking. If you like you can toss grape tomatoes with asparagus and olive oil for an additional flavor. I serve this to guest often.

I love asparagus so much but my family does not. So I never cook it but seeing it on your blog inspired me to buy it and cook it, even if it is just for me. Well, lo and behold I made it, just baked for about 12 minutes with salt, pepper, olive oil, and a tiny bit of lemon on it, and my daughter actually ate an ENTIRE piece. She is deathly afraid of vegetables of all kinds. I am loving it! Lets hope it lasts. (and it was fun to watch the tortured look on my Husband’s face as I made him eat a piece too)

We love to grill it.
Clean asparagus as normal
add asparagus, EVOO, and seanings (pepper, garlic, onion, whatever else we want) in a foil pack
put on the grill with other stuff
about 4-5 minutes on each side

yummy!

since we’re not grilling tonight, I’ll be trying your suggestion. thanks!
