I love this substitute for French fries. In my opinion, they are best if made with the thin sort of asparagus. They can go from casual meal to dinner party menu.
Ingredients:
Asparagus, however much you like
1 Tablespoon olive oil per pound of asparagus
salt, to taste.
Directions:
Cut off woody end of asparagus.
Line a pan with foil and pre-heat broiler.
Lay out the asparagus in a line on the lined pan and sprinkle with olive oil first then flake sea salt.
Broil for 7-9 minutes, very close to the broiler coil then turn the asparagus over and broil for another 3-5 minutes (time depends on thickness of the stalk).

Re: Asparagus Fries
Your Welcome!
I love asparagus...even more so than potato chips. If you believe that I have some Florida swamp acerage that I'm willing to sell.
These are so good. I love salt more than sugar. That's probably why....
