Leigh's Garlic Butter Asparagus

 

Fresh Vegetables - nothing like them, and we are entering that time of the year in Western New York (mid to late Spring) when asparagus is at its prime!

Leigh likes to cook this recipe in the oven, on a cooking tray. This lets the asparagus cook in the combined butter and garlic juices, and tenderizes the vegetable.

Preparing the asparagus is essential. Asparagus has woody ends which are tough to chew - Leigh cuts these back about an inch to an inch and a half. Wash the asparagus thoroughly!

Lay the asparagus out on a cooking tray.

Liberally add butter and ground garlic. 

Cover completely.

Bake at 350 for about 35 minutes or until the asparagus is done!

The asparagus goes well with chicken or pork. Bon appetit!
