Stir nutmeg, garlic salt, and red pepper into melted butter. Set aside. Wash asparagus and break off stalks as far down as they snap easily, about 1 to 2 inches from ends. Arrange asparagus in a single layer on a large, rimmed baking pan lined with foil; drizzle with oil and roll to coat. Broil asparagus 4 to 6 minutes or until crisp-tender, turning once. Place in a serving dish and pour seasoned butter over asparagus. Garnish with nuts, if desired. Time 10 minutes Difficulty (1-5) 1 Notes I roasted the asparagus at 450 degrees for about 10 minutes instead of broiling and it worked great. calories 96, fat 8 g, cholesterol 13 mg, sodium 150 mg, carbohydrates 4 g, fiber 2 g, protein 2 g Image
