YUMMM!!! I made this last night, and I am going to make it AGAIN tonight! I let my dad try some, since he eats a ton of veggies. He's diabetic and gets bored with the same old tastes, and he LOVED this one for something different. He suggested cutting the stalks into bite sized pieces so they are easier to eat and will be easier to cook, too. THANK YOU for a wonderful idea!! -
I have been making Asparagus this way for years and it is absolutely delicious this way. I like to use kosher salt for texture. Thanks for sharing a great recipe! :) -
Very simple & tasty! Great flavor with a nice crunchy texture on the outside but a bit softer on the inside. I used more garlic, along with garlic salt and pepper. I can honestly say I've only had steamed asparagus and all I can say now is that was a lot of wasted asparagus! This was excellent. Thanks for posting! -
This was great - dh says the asparagus turned out exactly the way he likes it - tender but crunchy - that's the way I like mine too.

This is wonderful! I used butter instead of the oil though. It gave it a better flavour. Thanks for sharing!

Wow! So simple and so good. I ended up eating the whole thing myself. Asparagus is a negative-calorie food, meaning your body burns more calories to digest it than you intake eating it. So if you want to make it even healthier, try using chicken broth instead of oil. Great recipe!!!!

In the words of Tracy Byrd, "I'm from the country & I like it that way"!!
On May 1, 2008 my husband and I started a new adventure. We'll be living in a 37 foot RV while our new home is under construction. Its out in the country on a dead end dirt road with lots of trees. For the next 4 months or so, most meals will be cooked on the BBQ and life will be full of challenges!
We love spending quality time with our friends & family - especially the grandkids!! The photo is 4 generations - my 84 year old mother, myself, my daughter & my youngest granddaughter - taken at the end of 2006.
