when you see 2 lbs of big fat asparagus, get it
hold one close to the bottom and try to snap it off, If it doesn't work, move up the st em till it does. Do 'em all.
Toss in salt, pepper and olive oil
Lay on a sheet so all are well exposed and heat in a 350 degree oven for 12 minutes - 15 tops says Terri
Serve when slightly wilted and browning up
