Asparagus

My quick and lazy method is to drizzle on a little vinegrette dressing and pop it into the microwave to cook until tender crisp. I've tossed it into soups, stir frys, on the grill, and all sorts of ways. In bite sized pieces, it even makes a great pizza topping.

Just made some last night. Put in a 13x9 baking dish, spray with olive oil, sprinkle with Mrs. Dash Garlic & Herb, then sprinkle with parmesan. Bake in oven at 350 for about 20 mins.
Super Yummy!

I'm going to have to try some of these others too!

That's pretty close to how I do mine: sauteed with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic, Mrs. Dash (whichever one we have), and then top it off with parmesan or asiago.

Lay flat on cookie sheet - spray with butter - lightly season with garlic powder & salt..broil till tender..then slap on a piece of either Sargento 40 Calorie Swiss or a slice of Fat free american - broil a second or two longer to melt cheese YUM!!! My kids love this too!!

Mostly I just steam it.

Sometimes I get nutty and grill it.

Occasionally I get crazy and pan sear it with olive oil and garlic.

Once in a blue moon I add fresh parmesan cheese to it.

My absolute fave way is a quick sautee in a little olive oil with lemon pepper, and it's pretty much the only way I eat them. But I recently made this Crustless Asparagus Quiche with regular feta, and it was sooo good.

Bake at 350° for approximately 45 minutes or until filling is set.

Grill 3 minutes with a fine mist of olive oil and salt-free lemon pepper or a squirt of lemon or lime juice Or you can through them on a girl.... either way ..

Drizzle with EVOO, sprinkle with lemon zest and grill/broil for a few minutes.

THEN top with freshly grated nutmeg.

The flavors of nutmeg with the asparagus and lemon produce tannins and complex flavors similar to those found in wine.

but that's how i prepare most of my foods

My favorite is baked in the oven. Coat with olive oil, salt & pepper. When they are done baking I love to squeeze fresh lemon juice all over them. They are amazing.

Brush with olive oil, salt, pepper and throw them on the girl for a few minutes...

I don't have a girl to throw them on. Lol

=(

I love it too.

I prepare It a few different ways.

1. pan fry with olive oil, salt and pepper = basic, blah
2. bake in oven with parmesan cheese and garlic
3. wrap with prosciutto and fry or bake

Our favorite is to grill them after sprinkling EVOO or pats of butter on them (if DH preps) and then sprinkle Penzy's Fox Point Seasoning.

When it's not grilling weather we steam them and then spray butter w/ Penzy's Fox Point Seasoning.
