Grilled or roasted with salt, pepper and olive oil.  A squeeze of lemon juice after it's cooked if I'm feeling fancy.

Oven roasted with olive oil, sea or kosher salt and garlic. So simple and so delicious!

Thanks!  I usually put it on the stove top with a little water and want to try something different.  Thanks again!

Roasting is so easy, they can go in at whatever temp everything else is cooking at.

Roast a bunch of trimmed asparagus at 375 for 10-15 minutes until tender and bright green.  Before roasting I drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with a little salt and pepper.  Sometimes I'll sprinkle Parmesan cheese or a little balsamic vinegar.  Tastes delicious and so, so easy!

I like preparing it on the skillet and sprinkling with blue cheese.  See my blog .

I found the recipe in a Cooking Light cookbook so I know it's healthy - it's just a nice alternative to roasting it.

cut off the woody ends, Toss with Olive Oil, put into a 400 oven until the tips turn brown.  Thin ones will be done faster than thicker ones.

My favorite with asparagus is UNcooked. I clean it, put it whole in a big ziplock, add mushrooms and a bottle of Italian dressing, zip it up and refrig for a few days, turning occasionally. It is really good. It just use kroger or aldi fat free Italian.

I lightly brush mine in olive oil, salt & pepper them, then wrap bundles of them in prosciutto. Then I grill them. Delicious!

I saute in a frying pan - break off woody ends, cut into about 1-inch pieces, put a little olive oil in pan (i use a nonstick one), sprinkle with a little salt, pepper and garlic.  Only takes a few minutes.

This is a great way to do it when you're short on time or don't want to turn on the oven.
