Great, simple recipe. Mine took less than 10 minutes to get perfectly tender. Thank you.

Yum! I love asparagus in any form. I love to stir-fry it because it's so quick and simple. I didn't leave it whole, but cut it into sections to make the stir-fry a little easier. Thanks Barb for a great keeper. Made for All You Can Cook Buffet special.

Thanks for this one, Barb. My family loves fresh asparagus and I usually serve it steamed or boiled/blanched. This was something different that we all agreed was excellent. I also put in some minced garlic instead of garlic powder. I made enough for 4 servings. Great recipe.

Barb, Great recipe. A simple way to prepare asparagus and gives it a different flavor than steaming which is what i usually do. I used a spicy olive oil and fresh garlic which spiced it up a bit. YUMMY!!!
