This was great. We did 13 mins in a toaster oven. Will use again - thank you!

litldarlin you tell Aunt Elly this will be a go to for my family as well. This was the perfect side to go with our Sunday ham dinner. After pulling the ham out I increased the oven and slid the asparagus in. It was done to perfection for the dinner table in perfect timing. By the time the potatoes were smashed and the ham was cut I was able to put these tasty morsels on the table sizzling hot. It was pantry painting day for DH and BIL so the meal was apropos.
