1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper |
2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons margarine, melted |
30 medium fresh asparagus spears (about 2 bunches) |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted (for garnish) (optional) |
Directions:
1. Preheat your broiler.
2. Mix nutmeg, garlic salt, and pepper into melted butter.
3. Wash and break asparagus.
4. Arrange asparagus in a single layer on a large, rimmed baking pan lined with foil.
5. Drizzle with oil and roll around to coat evenly.
6. Broil asparagus 4-6 minutes or until crisp-tender, turning once.
7. Place in a serving dish and pour seasoned butter over asparagus.
