    Cooking Asparagus

    cutting right now and don't want to use Olive Oil. How do you guys cook em'? I've always used cucumbers, spinach,and coliflower when it comes to vegetables, so I am confused on the easist/leanest way for asparagus.

    thanks.

    My favorite way is to rub them with salt/pepper/garlic, wrap them in aluminum foil and cook them on the grill. You could do the same thing in the oven though.

    Just don't overcook them. They should remain a little bit brittle/crunchy as many of the nutrients are lost from overcooking.

    ^^you can toss them in olive oil if you want and add salt.. you have to use sea salt to make it come out right though. If you don't use olive oil then just toss in water so the salt will stick to em. then throw them on a cookie sheet and broil em for about 8-10 min.. maybe longer, maybe less.. shake the pan mid way through so they get cooked evenly.. then drizzle half a lemon over them.. they are DELICOUS!!!

    also make sure you cut off the bottom inch of all the stocks.

    Do you think this would work okay on a Foreman grill? Also, do I double side wrap them in aluminium foil or do I just let them sit on a sheet of it? Thanks

    ^^No need for aluminum foil unless you put on the BBQ.. if you put on foreman then just put directly on the grill.. and roll them over half way through

    Thanks guys. I don't know any other ways of cooking besides a Foreman grill and a Microwave for my sweet potatos. I need to get a wife or something soon

    /\/\ The aluminum foil is just to keep them moist and from drying out on the grill or in the oven.

    Getting a wife just for cooking purposes is soooo not worth it.

    ^^^Agreed.. most white american women don't cook anymore anyways.. unless you find a really rare one or one from the south.. all other races know how to take care of their men though.

    This, or you can steam them. Just fill a pot with a little water and bring to a boil. Get a colander or steam basket and put the already cut asparagus in and drop into the pot, making sure the basket/colander doesn't actually sit in the water. Doesn't taste the greatest, but nothing a little salt and pepper can't fix.
