MICROWAVE ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Wash the asparagus spears. Trim their ends. You can either trim enough of the ends so that the spears fit into your microwave-safe bowl, or, after trimming just the ends, cut them in half (or even chop them).
• Place the trimmed spears in a microwave-safe bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of water.
• Cover with a microwave-safe plate and microwave on high until tender-crisp, about 3 minutes.
• Use oven mitts to remove the bowl from the microwave, and be careful when removing the lid - hot steam will escape.
• Transfer the asparagus to a serving plate. Sprinkle with kosher salt and serve. Or season with melted butter, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Serve immediately.

• Microwave on high for 1:30 min for 1/4" thick, 2:15 for 1/2" thick, 3:00 min for 3/4" thick (see Recipe Note #1).
• Remove asparagus from container and drain any remaining water.
• Add hot asparagus back to container along with your butter, salt and pepper.
• Lid the container and lightly shake until asparagus is well coated and seasoned.
