Rub asparagus in olive oil. Dust with salt lemon pepper, and garlic powder. Roast @ 350 until done. I have sauteed it very much the same way. Any ideas for something different? What say the FNDB?

Saw a Dutch cooking show done with white asparagus and they mixed melted butter with bread crumbs, piled them on top and roasted. I found the white asparagus here in Hou last year and it was pretty good.

Cooks Illustrated, in an artilcle I just read, says preheat the baking pan at 500. Toss trimmed asparagus with olive oil and S&P.

Put it on the hot pan and roast for 8 to 10 until done. Don't shake the pan or rotate it. Gets good browning on the bottom. Drizzle with more oil when done.

Have not tried that method yet, but I have roasted many times at 400, flipping part way through.

I cook mine at 425, coated in olive oil, salt, pepper, and finished with parmesan.

Fresh white asparagus in Europe is considered a delicacy.

It's delicious.

Cut prosciutto into thin slices and wrap around two asparagus stalks at a time. Lay them all out on a cookie sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and salt and pepper generously. Sprinkle with fresh shredded Parmesan cheese. Roast in oven. After you take out of drizzle with a balsamic glaze. We have this as a meal with wine and a baguette.

Do people really cook asparagus? We always just eat it fresh. Like celery.

I cook it, but always eat a few raw during prep. I usually just coat in olive oil, season with salt and black pepper and grill in a basket.

This might sound like a troll, but I microwave it for 3 min with damp paper towels over it.

Drizzle EVOO, salt, and pepper.

Alton Brown method.

Drizzled with olive oil and fresh cracked pepper. These hit my grill for just a few minutes, then I hit them with Maldon finishing salt immediately off the grill.

If I feel like messing with more prep, I'll wrap a few pieces in bacon like a peppermint cane and secure with toothpicks.

Use Cavender's Greek Seasoning with a little fresh pepper, along with EVOO and a squeeze of lemon.

May try that. Bacon makes everything better.

The asparagus gratin at Doris Metropolitan is the best asparagus I've ever had.

I imagine it wouldn't be hard to replicate. Internet seems to favor a parmesan and marscarpone mixture.
