I drizzle a little EVOO on it with salt and pepper and garlic powder and roast them in a 400 degree oven.. My kids love them this way0

I second the suggestion above. Spray with olive oil, add some garlic and roast.0

Simply roasting is best. But, you could always chop them up and add to a stir fry or as the base for an omelette.
There is also the old wrap small bundles of asparagus with proscuitto and broil till crisp.....yum!0 -
Okay, one more. Cook your asparagus in some vegetable or chicken stock, along with chopped onion till very soft. Take the contents to your blender and add cream or even plain yogurt, season, and you have a simple cream of asparagus soup.0

Not sure how calorie friendly it is but my boyfriend loves it when I do a variation of this recipe....

Not sure if my recipe is exactly the same but pretty close0 -
I steam them until they are bright green (a couple of minutes at most), then make a garlic butter (butter/olive oil/herbs/garlic) and put a dollop on ... eat. Yum.0

olive oil, orange zest, black pepper, then toss 'em on the grill. BOOM!0

I like to take any vegetables that go really well with garlic, chop em up and put them in some mashed or baked potatoes.0

Asparagus risotto is nice. I don't have a recipe, because I'm not a recipe person, but I bet Epicurious has one...0

a little sesame oil, some soy sauce and a clove on minced garlic, brush it on them and put them on the grill. While grilling sprinkle on some sesame seeds.
They are amazing!0 -

Broil w/EVOO and lemon butter seasoning (not real butter). Yum!
I also like to toss w/whole wheat pasta or rice w/EVOO, garlic, and just a sprinkle of parmasian aregiano cheese.0 -
Wrap 3 or 4 stalks with a piece of bacon after seasoning the asparagus, bake until the bacon is crunchy and amazing. You won't regret this one. I also take the asparagus and cut in in 3rds saute it with 3 or 4 slices of bacon cut up into small pieces. Take some salad mix and add 3 tablespoons of sliced almonds and 1/4 cup of cranberries. Add the Asparagus and bacon to the salad and enjoy, very yummy, just had this tonight except with ham instead of the bacon.
this pic shows it with some chicken but not much asparagus, I add more asparagus now and leave the chicken off.0 -

Cut off the woody ends of the asparagus. Put onto a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle sea salt and cracked black pepper on top and bake at 400 degrees until tender and slightly crisp. YUM!0

Roast in the oven and then covered with a little bit of light Caesar dressing0

I saw this and just want to say no....adding bacon to asparagus takes something very healthful and turns it to *kitten*. Sorry....0 -
Roasted Asparagus: Olive oil, salt and pepper, 400* for about 10 mins. Love them, matter fact had some tonite for dinner. :bigsmile:0

Spray or toss lightly in olive oil, sprinkle with paprika, bake at 400 for 10 to 15 minutes. Quick, easy, delicious.0
