broiled asparagus

one of the fastest easiest side dishes you can ever imagine.
buy a bunch of asparagus- the thinner the better.

wash them, snap off the cut end to where the stalk becomes tender.
lay them in a cookie sheet covered with foil.
drizzle olive oil, sprinkle with salt and garlic powder.

let them broil for about 5 minutes or untill they start to crisp and brown, turn them over with tongs and broil for just a few more minutes on the other side.

if you dont have garlic powder, no worries, just use salt.
if you want a sweeter taste drizzle balsamic vinegar
