Nutrition & Calorie Comments  

I make this outside on the grill. Only I use olive oil spray, lower fat grams. I'm gonna try this in the broiler. I love charded veggies cold on my salads too. Great instead of a meat. Submitted by:

I love asparagus and this is how I always prepare it w/ the modification of using Old Bay Seasoning instead of salt and pepper. I like the cajun kick. Submitted by:

I roast/bake my asparagus rather than broiling - 400 degrees. If you want to avoid salt, toss in the oil and a generous sprinkling of Mrs. Dash original flavour. Roast for at least 10 minutes. In my opinion, the toastier the asparagus, the more delicious. And I hate vegetables! Submitted by:

I did in the oven at 450--very good! And I used the ziplock bag so less oil. Used fresh ground pepper and salt. Submitted by:

First time cooking asparagus and this recipe was great. However I didn't use all the salt recommended and added little garlic powder. I love the recipe will be cooking it again soon. Submitted by:

I put the oven on 42 and roast for 10 minutes. I also spray with pam olive oil and shake a spicy seasoning mix on top and then roast. Favorite way to make it and low in fat and sodium! Submitted by:

Too salty and too much pepper, but the idea is a good one. Next time I will try onion and garlic powder and use much less salt and black pepper. My sister liked it because it wasn't mushy. Submitted by:

1 teaspoon of salt for a bunch of 20 spears?! Are you kidding me??!! This salty recipe is only best for deer - not humans! This (salt) recipe (salt) is (salt) similar (salt) to (salt) this (salt) sentence (salt). IT HAS TOO MUCH SALT! Submitted by:
