How to Cook Asparagus in the Oven:

Bake for 8-10 minutes.
How to Cook Asparagus on the Stove (Sautéed):
Trim the ends off the asparagus, then cut the spears into 2-inch pieces.

Notes
Prepare the Asparagus:
Begin by washing the stalks thoroughly. Then, you’ll want to trim the ends since they are tough and inedible. Hold the bundle securely in the middle and cut 1-2 inches from the bottom.
