Asparagus
"This recipe was one of my Aunt Ely's favorite veggy dishes to make for her family. I hope you enjoy it as much as we have. This recipe is also in my family's cookbook, the one I revised 2 yrs ago for our family reunion."

Great recipe. I loved the thyme addition to these. Thank you for sharing this recipe with us. -
Like my daughter said, "I hate asparagus and this tastes great". A winner in my house and the only way I'll be cooking asparagus from now on, at least when my daughter visits. Thanks so much for posting, we all really liked this. -
This was great. We did 13 mins in a toaster oven. Will use again - thank you! -
This was really good. Very quick and easy to put together. Left out the thyme as I didn't have any but added 1-1/2 tsp of chopped garlic. This is the first time I've had asparagus cooked this way but it definitely won't be the last. Served it with a ham steak and baked potato. -
I had to use dried thyme because we didn't have any fresh on hand. Still tasted great! It was quick and easy to throw together. I served it with grilled salmon and a five grain Italian bread with an olive oil dipping sauce. An easy and delicious meal!

Perfect...added to my Asparagus Spring Rolls and used Marjoram instead of Thyme. This was delightful and will definately be added to the "Keeper" file. Thx for sharing. -
This is a great Asparagus recipe, even my husband like it!! I made two small changes when I made mine, instead of drizzling with olive oil I used an oil mister and I also added a little Parmesan cheese right at the end. It was a very easy recipe and it turned out perfect. Thanks for posting!!

Love to try different recipes that I've never done before. Nothing to spicy or exotic and if I have all the ingredients I will try to make it. I love this website and all the different chefs on here. I also like to tweak my own recipes that I've posted after I read other chefs tweaks of my recipes. It helps me to be a lot more courageous in trying new recipes on myself. Thank you to all the chefs on Food.com
