For a fresh take on asparagus , try this. I just love asparagus , but my favorite way to cook it is to actually roast it rather than steaming it. To roast it, it's gonna add a lot of really great flavor because it's gonna make the asparagus nice and brown. So to start, I'm gonna have my fresh cleaned asparagus , and if you didn't know, there's kind of a woody tough base at the bottom of the asparagus . You wanna remove that before you're cooking it. So I just hold it in both hands, and then just start to bend the asparagus , and it's just gonna snap in a natural spot. Toss away that bottom portion and you're left with a really tender, nice spear. So I'm just gonna do that to all my asparagus . You can get your kids involved. They'd really like to snap that asparagus , and just throw it into a 15-by-10-inch baking pan. Sprinkle it with a little bit of salt and pepper to give it

of that coating on it. It's kind of important to spread your asparagus out so it's in more of a single layer. Pop it into a 450-degree oven and roast it for about 8 to

to give it a little kick. Here's a great way to serve asparagus next time you're entertaining.
