Notes

Serve in your favorite salad or with pasta or grilled meats.

When choosing your asparagus, look for firm stalks and tips that are tightly closed. If your lemon pepper has salt as the No. 1 ingredient, you will not need to salt your asparagus.

Roasted asparagus is just as easy. Place in oven at 425 F for about 10 minutes.
