Asparagus coated with olive oil and cooked in the oven is superb.

Wow-I agree. In fact that is the only way that I can cook it just right. On top of the stove is never exactly satisfactory, but still better than mush.

Mears :" Asparagus coated with olive oil and cooked in the oven is superb."

Asparagus is considered by many to be a "spring tonic" since it is one of the first plants to be harvested after winter.
I prefer to roast asparagus (over or grill) with olive oil, a light spritz of balsamic vinegar, and lightly dressed with grated Parmesan cheese while still warm.

Fresh asparagus coated with water, a pinch of salt and popped between the teeth is Delish. No need to cook. Love it.
