    I make this same recipe, it is so tasty, except I do it in the oven at 450 degrees Farenheit instead of broiling. - 3/11/10

    This was my first time cooking asparagus and I eat without salt, so I substituted Mrs. Dash for salt and added lemon juice. Yummy! Will make again and again! - 3/11/10

    Yum! I also make okra and green beans the same way. I was shocked that the okra does not come out slimey. I'm finding I have an affinity for broiled veggies!!! - 11/18/08

    I am so glad that I read the reviews for this. It is a GREAT recipe for asparagus. Now I want to try other veggies prepared the same way (I'm thinking red peppers, snow peas). This is so easy and is just wonderful. Will be a standard in my kitchen when I can get good asparagus! - 2/11/08

    Thanks for the great recipe. This is the easiest way ever to make asparagus...and asparagus is supposedly a good food to counteract water retention. - 1/4/08

    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. - 2/20/13

    FYI-Asparagus will automatically BREAK at the correct spot if you bend it. It's a very 'helpful' vegetable,that way! :-) - 3/31/11

    This is my asparagus go-to: quick, easy, and very very tasty. I sometimes mix it up by using an olive oil spray to cook, then coating the cooked asparagus with 1 teaspoon butter, 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar, and 1 teaspoon soy sauce. - 3/22/11

    Good but wow - that's a lot of black pepper - at least for my taste. I WILL be making this again, but I will hold off on using so much black pepper and maybe substitute lemon pepper. - 3/18/11

    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. - 12/29/10

    This was the first time I'd ever tried cooking asparagus, and this recipe turned out awesome! I've made it a few times since. The only thing I added was a little garlic powder. - 12/5/10
