Expert cappersmall chefs - healthy cooking

[Dr. Jack]

Been eating a ton of asparagus lately. Used to hate it but now I love it & trying to eat a little healthier.

What's best way to cook asparagus & give me your best healthy recipe meal if you got one

Not that heart attack stuff like falcon freak serves

I just had some tonight, I steam all my vegetables you get the maximum amount of nutrients that way. add a touch of olive oil & sea salt when finished, YUM YUM!!!

[Dr. Jack]

Yeah Andre' that's how I usually do it too

[Andre]

I usually eat asparagus once a week, love it!!! Some other veggies that are staples for me are mushrooms, broccoli, brussel sprouts & avocados (can't steam those though)

[Dr. Jack]

I've been eating it like 4-5 times a week lately. I hate mushrooms, brussel sprouts, avocado & most veggies. I can make myself eat broccoli & occasionally eat carrots & corn (I know not real veggie)

I need other good stuff

On another note, a buddy of mine got me some incredible lobster tails so ate good tonight. Been eating nothing but chicken so needed the change up

I roast them in the toaster oven with some olive oil, salt, balsalmic vinegar and some bread crumbs...and then wrap them up in some proscuitto slices. Leave out the prosciutto if you are trying to be healthy as it is high in salt.

add in some yams and brown rice and youre looking good

Sounds good I'll try it without the prosciutto

Boil the asparagus til tender, Then toss them in melted I Can't Believe Its Not Butter spray and season with Old Bay.

You can also marinate the asparagus overnight in italian dressing, I would throw the asparagus into a bag then put the dressing in it and mix it up, then grill it, I love using the grill.

roast them like someone suggested or saute them in olive oil, salt and pepper

steaming them is probably my least favorite preparation. so bland. asparagus needs that carmelization to taste good.

agree with this... they get mushy if steamed...

[Sweetleaf22]

put it on the grill with some EVO (extra virgin oliveoil), onions and garlic, wrap in foil, cook over indirect heat.......


Get on the Brussle Sprout train next Jack...............

There's nothing quite like a whiff of asparagus pee. Reminds me of spring.
