I often microwave asparagus (olive oil and seasoning of some type) but have also done it in the traditional oven and a couple times on RJ's grill. Have two bunches in the 'fridge right now.
Asparagus all my life, even the mushy canned stuff my Mother served me..LOL I do one thing different, I usually lightly peel it AKA Julia Child by way of Mark Harman.
