Thanks for this recipe. I am always in need of a good side dish and I try really hard to find healthy things so this will be perfect. Stopping by from afewofmyfavoritethings Penni

I love asparagus and usually boil mine, but I've never thought to broil it. How delicious that sounds. By the way, I made your No-Bake Peanut Butter Bars last week (with a little twist), then revamped it and turned it into Muddy Buddy covered truffles. I loved them both ways.

Did you broil it on high or low?
Twyla says:

I was wondering the same thing! Was sure there would have been a reply since your question was 5+ years ago lol
Cyd says:

You can broil this asparagus on high or low. Low broil is for about 5 minutes. Just until tender. If you broil on High, keep an eye on it because it can cook very quickly.
