This is truly the best way to cook asparagus. One bundle of asparagus serves 4 people.
Preheat broiler. Wash and trim the asparagus. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Season with salt and add a couple of generous glugs of olive oil. (Don't season with pepper as it will burn.) Toss together and spread out in an even layer on the pan. Take 2 large garlic cloves, peel and cut in half. Stick them under the spears so they don't burn. Place the tray under the broiler for about 4 or 5 minutes. Take out, stir and back under the broiler for another 4 minutes. Check them at this point. They should be bright green and have a few brown and crisp spots. Turn onto a plate, season with a bit more salt and some lemon juice. This goes very well with steak.

This is my very favorite way to eat all veggies. Yum!
Oh my! They look still crisp (not limp) and so inviting. I wish I could snack on some right now! Would you suggest the same method for white asparagus?
Sarah Lou, I've only ever had white asparagus once and I wasn't really impressed. But I don't see why it wouldn't work.
As long as the paper doesn't burst into flames, I wouldn't worry Tiffanie!
