Usually boiled or steamed but can also be delicious roasted in garlic and olive oil or butter.

Fresh asparagus spears have an irresistible sweet and snappy texture when enjoyed raw. Cooking the fibrous greens unlocks new flavors. The naturally delicious flavor doesn't need more than a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of salt and pepper.
