Notes

  • Thin asparagus will cook much quicker. Reduce your cooking time.
  • Optional: when your asparagus is done, sprinkle with freshly grated parmesan or drizzle with lemon juice. 
  • Optional: Serve asparagus with an aioli like a sriracha aioli or a lemon aioli.
  • Use an oil that can be cooked at high heat. We like cooking with avocado oil.
  • Use your favorite seasonings. Try chili powder, cumin, curry powder, parsley or anything you like. If you use fresh garlic, don’t add it until the last 2-3 minutes of cooking.
