With only three ingredients, this recipe is quick to come together and sure to be a crowd pleaser. It may take a couple of tries to find the preferred crispness you and your family prefer, but the effort is definitely worth the time. If your kids aren’t very interested in green things, see if they are interested in getting into the kitchen to snap the ends of the asparagus. The spring time is also a great time to forage for asparagus patches hidden off the beaten path. Keep an eye out in the fall for tall, overgrown wispy looking pants. Many asparagus hunters leave markers in the fall to make the spring treat easier to find in the spring.
