Oven Roasted Asparagus (hubby cooks this on grill too)
« on: April 24, 2008, 10:08 AM »

1 pound or about 20 medium to thick spears of asparagus - supposed to feed 4 it says:

Wash and trim off bottom ends of asparagus (usually all the white part)

Place in roasting pan 8 1/2 x 11 (single layer preferably, not too crowded)

Drizzle One (1) Tablespoon of Olive Oil over asparagus
Sprinkle with Salt and Pepper to your liking

Stir asparagus to coat with oil and salt/pepper -- then spread evenly in pan.

Bake in oven 400 degrees for about 25 minutes -- stir/turn about halfway through cooktime.
Stick with fork to see if desired tenderness is done and cook longer if desired.
(If your asparagus is skinny, cook in less time)

When almost done, (or after finished cooking if you want) sprinkle with grated parm/romano cheese (fresh is probably better but I also use the Kraft or other brand cheese in that shaker can)  And hubby has cooked this in pan on the grill too.


(this was the healthy stuff....later I'll post One Bowl Brownies  ;)

MMM MMM MMM   ok I love asparagus so I went to make this recipe.  To my dismay I didn't have the parm cheese so I just went with the rest of the recipe, which is how i usually make it but instead have been steaming it in the microwave (u know quick is the best lol)  anyway, was very yummy!!  thanks for the recipe  :thumbs:


Now for a little asparagus trivia: 

Did you know that only 1/2 of the population gets "asparagus pee"?  Yes this happens as quickly as 30 minutes after u consume asparagus, you get this funky odor when you urinate.  So are you ready for the asparagus pee test?  I think it would be if for nothing else, "interesting" to see if what they say is true  :lolg:

By the way, I do get asparagus pee.   :shy:
