I roast them with Mrs. Dash, olive oil and garlic.0

The microwave is one of the easiest ways to steam asparagus and keeps more nutrients in the veggies. I bend them to snap the tough part off of the bottom, rinse, and wrap the entire bunch in a couple of wet paper towels. Place the wrapped asparagus on a plate or glass dish and microwave for around 2 minutes (more or less, depending on your microwave). Sprinkle with salt, pepper, or whatever other seasonings you prefer, and it's ready to eat.0

I also usually roast them in a 400 degree oven. You can try adding low sodium soy sauce or balsamic vinegar for a change! Yummy0

The site eating well has great recipes. I take recipes from there and modify them since I am diabetic. I reduce the recipe for 2. Sometime i make small changes for example instead of chicken thighs, I USE two 3 oz chicken. Or instead of port wine I use diet cranberry juice. Have fun cooking.0

I tasted canned asparagus today, it was nasty!!
Buy fresh stalks. Much nicer.
All I do is pop 5 or 6 stalks on a plate. Put it in the microwave for 1 min. Then eat I love it.0 -
The best way to cook it is to roast it in the oven with some olive oil and a little salt and pepper. It great!0

From a culinary perspective, as well as nutritional, this is the healthiest version so far (unless you have issues with microwaving).0 -

to add a little more flavor - put some grated parmesean cheese along with the olive oil and salt and pepper - all you really need.0

Roll them in Olive Oil, sprinkle some Montreal Steak Spice (or something like it) on them and throw them directly onto your BBQ grill, rolling them so they don't burn, for about 5 minutes or until soft.
VERY yummy...

Marinate them in Italian dressing, YUMMY! Also, I've found that Mansmith's grilling spice works really well on most veggies.0

Oh, and one more thing, if you live near a trader joes, their frozen asparagus tasted like fresh once cooked. I am not sure the secret, but it is nice to have in the freezer when I am throughing together a dinner.0

I cut the last inch off of the bottom, drizzle with just a bit of olive oil, and hit with a little salt, some black pepper and some grinder garlic. Pop 'em in in one of them micro-steamer bags for a minute and yum.
Don't overnuke, they're better with just a bit of crunch left.0 -
Here's a favorite of mine:
Spread your asparagus (about half of a bundle, sometimes I make less) on a sheet pan. Add about 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, cut in half (you can omit these if you like, but it's really yummy). Toss in 1 tbsp parmesean, 1 tsp olive oil, salt and pepper, and red pepper flakes to taste. Bake at 350 until crispy, typically around half an hour.0 -
I sautee asparagus in a little olive oil with sea salt, minced garlic & dill. Right before they are done I add zest of a lemon & a little lemon juice. Sometimes I add a little fresh grated Parmesan on top.0
