Baked Asparagus

This is an incredibly easy recipe, in fact so easy we like to take it with us to prepare while we're camping. You can cook it in disposable aluminum pans, 9 x 13 pans, whatever you want so cleanup can even be a breeze.

Usually we have our typical vegetables at Thanksgiving (green bean bake, mashed potatoes, sweet potato pie) but I wanted a little more at our table since we were going to have a lot of meat and starches and not so many vegetables. This dish was perfect since I could prepare it ahead of time and just store it in the fridge until it is needed to be thrown in the oven.

3-4 bunches of asparagus

Garlic salt

1/2 cup butter

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
