Need aspargus recipes or cooking instructions

I love asparagus. Here's how I cook them.

Bend the stalk of asparagus till it snaps... the bottom parts are tough but could be used for a vegetable stock because they taste ok and have nutrients.

The tops, probably 2/3 of the original stalk, taste fantastic roasted. I lay them on a baking sheet and sprinkle a little olive oil over them, and maybe a little salt and pepper. Roast at 350 for 15 minutes or so and check if they bend easily... if so, they are done, but even if they overcook a little and get crisp, they are still delicious... Enjoy!

WRAP TURKEY BACON AROUND THEM! Then put them on a cookie sheet with some Pam in the oven til the bacon is cooked.

Wrap Turkey Bacon around 2 to 3 stalks and secure with a toothpick. Place in a 13 X 9 baking dish.

Melt 1/2 cup Splenda with 1 stick of butter. (microwave is good to melt) Add a tablespoon of garlic salt to mixture.

Pour over vegetables. Bake covered in oven at 350 degees (about 30 minutes) or until vegetables are tender.

I also use whole string beans instead of aspargus. Can string beans work well and wrap 5 or 6 of them together.

I love to throw them on the grill (no seasoning). And I bake them in the oven with a little olive oil, salt and pepper. Very yummy!!!!

I'm always on the hunt for new recipes, check out allrecipes.com, it's pretty good

I do them similar to others.....except I lay out sheets of aluminum foil, break the ends off like the others said....then in a small bowl mix olive oil, fresh garlic...it you like garlic, I press 3 or 4 cloves....about 1/8 teaspoon of pepper and less salt...think I use more pepper and try to limit the salt to half the amount of pepper. Most recipies call for the opposite (1/4 tsp salt, 1/8 tsp of pepper) but I am trying to cut back on salt and like a lot of pepper. Still the mixture and brush it on the asparagus as you layer it on the aluminum foil....then I wrap the foil like a tent...rolling up the long sides then pinching up the ends so it is all sealed. I bake it in the oven at 350 for 25-30 minutes or throw it on the grill. The fresh garlic, olive oil, salt and pepper works on tons of veggies....peppers, squash, potaotes, even corn on the cob.

i trim as listed above, lay them on a cookie sheet, spray them with pam and sprinkle them with garlic salt. I broil them on the second oven rack for 5 minutes, shaking the cookie sheet to turn over the spears so they cook evenly. then sprinkle with parmesan cheese and broil til cheese is just browning slightly

Asparagus is my absolute FAVORITE veggie, and here is my favorite way to prepare...hubby LOVES it too!!!

I steam it for 15 minutes

During the last five min. of the asparagus steaming, heat a nonstick pan with Pam spray and crush a couple of cloves of garlic in it...as soon as asparagus is done, toss it is the heated pan and squeeze the juice of a whole lime on it...should be hot enough that it "sizzles" as you are doing that...Toss around and add pepper and a little bit of sea salt...ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!!!!
