OLIVE OIL AND GARLIC BROILED ASPARAGUS
This is just my way of making grilled asparagus inside, as I no longer have access to a grill. Too easy not to make. You can use real garlic if you like, but just to make things easier and faster (on weeknights) I use the powder and garlic salt. If you do use real garlic, mince it as finely as you can, and sub sea salt for the garlic salt.

Steps:

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh asparagus spears that are bright green and have tightly closed tips.
- If you don't have fresh lemon juice, you can use bottled lemon juice. However, fresh lemon juice will give the asparagus a brighter flavor.
- Use a microplane grater to finely grate the lemon zest. This will help to release the essential oils and give the asparagus a more intense lemon flavor.
- If you don't have a microplane grater, you can use a regular grater. Just be sure to grate the lemon zest finely.
- Don't overcook the asparagus. It should be tender, but still slightly crisp.
- Serve the asparagus immediately after it is cooked. This will help to preserve its flavor and texture.
Conclusion:
Asparagus with Lemon and Minced Onions is a simple but delicious side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be ready in just a few minutes. The asparagus is tender and flavorful, and the lemon and onions add a bright and tangy flavor. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
