Our entire marriage, my hubby always said “I don’t like asparagus”. I never made it with any of our meals because of that. A few weeks ago however, our local produce stand opened up and we of course, had to go get stocked up. *If you have a local produce stand, be sure to shop there for local, fresh produce, I love the selection of ours and how fresh everything is.
While we were there, they had asparagus. Ooooooo it looked WAY too yummy to pass up, so I added it to the basket and said “sorry honey, you’ll have to learn to love it, hehe”. I decided to add some flavor to it, since my hubby and I love garlic and Parmesan. When I made this, I paired it with some lemon garlic salmon for dinner. Lets just say, my hubby now retracts his “I don’t like asparagus” statement and is looking forward to the next time I make some. YEA!!!

Excellent!!! The asparagus came out perfect – still had that crunch without being limp and soggy. The home smelled like garlic for hours – which is a good thing. This will now be my go to recipe when making asparagus. Thank you

This was wonderful! I added a generous sprinkle of fresh lime juice and sprinkles of lemon peel. Add a tiny bit of water to the pyrex dish and covered, baked 20 at 350* and it was great!!! Thank you!
p.s. I have been meaning to tell you. One can barely see the writing here in the fill in comments section! It is so pale and tiny, it is nearly impossible to read/see!!! I happened to have my IT lady here for diner and asked here to look at it. She says you need to have your web maintainer fix this! It’s crazy hard to see!! Once, posted, the comments are fine. It is this fill in box that is aweful! Thanks!
Kristin says
Oh yum! Glad to hear you enjoyed it!
Thanks for the website feedback, I went ahead and changed the size and color, so it should look more legible and be more clear now! Thanks for letting me know!

Kristin says

Hope you enjoyed!!

Try steaming the trimmed asparagus for a minute or two, just to soften slightly. Then dry and cover with Zesty Italian salad dressing and marinate for about 15 minutes. Grill the asparagus in a preheated (very hot) grill pan (or griddle pan if that’s what you have) for a few minutes, rolling occasionally to get good grill marks. Do not over cook…a little crunch is a good touch.

Great suggestions! Thanks!

Try it with crumbled bacon sometime too. Super yummy. Or you can use different chillis and peppers with this recipe to give it a spicy flare!
Kristin says
Great idea! I will definitely try that the next time I make this! Thanks!
