List of Ingredients
1/4 tsp groung nutmeg
1/4 tsp garlic salt
1/8 tsp. ground red pepper
2 T. margarine, melted
30 medium fresh asparagus spears (about 2 bundles)
1 T. olive oil
1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted (optional)
Description
Preheat broiler. 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.

Notes
I roasted the asparagus at 450 degrees for about 10 minutes instead of broiling and it worked great.
