I made this tonight. I used extra garlic and instead of olive oil I used PAM olive oli spray to decrease the calories. It was wonderful. I doubled up on the serving!
Thank you! - 3/22/09

This was a great side dish to some fish I was making. Used up the rest of the veggies I had in the fridge by throwing some bell peppers, mushrooms and onions in the pan at the start. - 4/13/10

I sprinkle balsamic vinegar on the asparagus just before serving instead of the lemons. - 3/9/10

Love to roast and grill asparagus. I have even falen in love with roasted cauliflower when I would NEVER before eat it cooked. Wegman's basting oil is a nice addition - 3/25/10

I made this last night...found it a little too oily, though the garlic was delicious. I would make this again, but use much less or even no oil. - 8/23/10

I use the same recipe but I put in the micro wave instead. Usually 4 minutes. Tastes great and no need to heat the oven up. - 5/25/10

Like some other reviewers, I also used a cooking spray [Pam olive oil] instead of the regular oil cited in the recipe. I also doubled the portion size -- it was so good. - 3/18/11

simple and tasty! I actually poured lemon juice over the asparagus instead of serving with a wedge and it turned out very nice! - 4/10/07

This is awesome with fish, steak or all by itself. Been cooking asparagus this way for a long time except I use more than 2 cloves of garlic. I use as much as possible and I make sure I toss the asparagus with my hands on the pan along with the S&P & EVOO. Enjoy! - 4/6/11
