Can I make a confession? It’s the first thing on the grill in the summer and then we just pick it up with our fingers and eat ‘em like french fries while the rest is being cooked! We also roast them with and without cheese indoors and then I *try* to be proper and use a fork and knife!

Kale is my new fav! Asparagus is a close second.

Hey, Melissa. You taught me your grilling recipe years ago – and it is still my favorite way to eat asparagus. I also make it with risotto and parmesan cheese. Yum!
Now if I could just convince my kids to like it…

Great tips. Roasting is my favourite way to prepare them too. For dinner last night, I just roasted a big batch with a panko and sesame crust, giving them a slightly crispy texture and served with a soy-ginger drizzle. Delicious!

Thanks for this reminder, Melissa! I love asparagus and don’t buy it in the winter. I’ve just motivated myself to get back in to shape before pool season and you’ve given me a great addition to my salads!

I like to marinate them with olive oil, S/P, lemon juice and white wine. Then on the grill they go. The hardest part is keeping them from falling through the grate.
