Notes
- Always trim the tough ends of the asparagus before cooking.
- Make sure not to over bake. Start checking for small or medium-thick asparagus spears to see if they are done around the 7-minute mark. You can always cook them longer if needed.
- Add fresh herbs like parsley or chives for a bright pop of flavor.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or a pan on the stovetop.
