How To Cook Asparagus?

Is there an easy way to cook asparagus??

  • i want to make some asparagus, i tried it a party last year, bought some earlier, been looking on the net for how to cook it, but it seems 1st i have to boil it, then grill it, then roast, then put it in the oven, i'm a guy living alone, i cant do all that, i'll probably screw it up, can i just boil it or microwave it or something ???

  • Answer:

    Heat oven to 350 degrees Lay a row of aspargus on a sheet of aluminum foil. Sprinkle with olive oil, fresh lemon juice, garlic powder, salt & pepper. Toss. Cover with same size sheet of foil and fold & crimp the edges together to make a pouch. Cook it for 8 minutes or so. This is really good.

Sauteed Garlic Asparagus INGREDIENTS 3 tablespoons butter or margarine 1 bunch fresh asparagus 3 cloves garlic, chopped DIRECTIONS Melt the butter or margarine in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and asparagus spears; cover and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until asparagus is tender. If you like your asparagus well done, reduce heat and cook an additional 10 minutes. Enjoy!

You can just put a little olive oil on them and some salt and pepper and then bake them on like 400 for 20 minutes. they will not be soggy but they will be tasty!

Ok here's an easy way.. wash it, cut the tuogh ends off it and then cut it into sizes that will fit in to your skillet easily. Melt some butter, a few tablespoons, and saute it on a very low heat until tender. May add a bit of garlic, salt, pepper and lemon juice to it if you prefer. It comes out tender, buttery and not mushy like some boiled asparagus. And of course full of calories for the health nut

yes use a shallow baking dish with about a 1/4 a cup water place in the asparagus stocks (sorry you still have to pill them from the tips down) so that none are over lapping cover with Saran wrap and cook for 3 minutes this will give you a steamed asparagus. this also works on the stove with a fry pan just put about 1/2 cup water in the pan bring to a simmer and pop in the asparagus cook till fork tender

Steam it!! Put a small amount of water in a shallow pan, bring to a boil and drop it in for 5 minutes covered. Also, just plain grilled is great.

put it in a pan with very little water and turn it on low heat. if it starts to get dry, then put more water in it. you can put flavoring in it too but it tastes finewithout it. just leave it in there until it's steamed. and then serve it with butter to dip it in.

I really enjoy grilling asparagus. I hate limp boiled or steamed asparagus. I usually marinate in Dales Sauce our Worsterchire (sp). Cracked pepper and on the grill. I serve it so it still has a little "crunch". You can even pick it up with your fingers.

We cook it all the time. Place about a 1/2 inch of water in a skillet wide enough to let the asparaghs lie flat. Bring to a boil....place asp. in it, then cook on medium for about 5-10 minutes. That's it....
