We do asparagus on a baking sheet in the oven,coated in a good olive oil.
.
I had to look for the recipe - thought I kept it on the PC because I shared it with someone on the other side of the world. So here it is if you want it - have fun if you make it.
Snap off the white bamboo-type ends of asparagus and rinse in cold water. I sometimes let them soak for about 10 minutes.
In a skillet, combine finely-chopped white/red onion, green/red/orange/yellow pepper, some Italian dressing, several pats of butter and some soy sauce. Medium heat (4/10) until reduced onions / browning.
While that’s going toss the asparagus in a large bowl, drizzle with olive oil and salt (or sea salt) and toss.
Into the skillet goes the asparagus. I add lemon pepper, garlic salt and concentrated lemon juice (1-2 tbsp. approx.). You could juice out a lemon, perhaps even slice it and add it in without the seeds.
Meanwhile, microwave some bacon, chop into 1/2 inch pieces, and slide all that bacon and fat into your skillet. I let it run in the med skillet (4/10) for 10 or 20 minutes; depends on how you like your asparagus.
THEN, yes, top with Parmesan cheese.
For a variation, grill the asparagus after the olive oil and salt toss for some nice grill marks, then toss in skillet.
Enjoy!!!! It’s awesome!
