Sure! Here are three different ways to prepare and cook asparagus:

[SerenaMueller]

**Simple Roasting**: Just toss the asparagus with a bit of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them out on a baking sheet and roast in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 15-20 minutes until they’re tender and slightly crispy. You can finish them off with a squeeze of lemon juice for some extra zing!

**Steaming**: For a quick and healthy option, steam the asparagus. Just trim the ends, place them in a steamer basket over boiling water, and cover. Steam for about 4-6 minutes until they’re bright green and tender but still have a bit of crunch. You can drizzle some melted butter or a sprinkle of parmesan cheese on top for added flavor.
