Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

Cook 3 minutes or until lightly browned, shaking pan occasionally. Remove from heat. Stir in 2 teaspoons soy sauce and 1 teaspoon vinegar. Drizzle over asparagus, tossing well to coat. Serve immediately.
  • tip 2
    Follow the steps for Simply Roasted asparagus above. While asparagus is roasting, cut 3 oz of prosciutto in half lengthwise. After removing spears from the oven, let cool slightly before wrapping each one with a strip of prosciutto. Serve at room temperature.
  • tip 3
    Experiment with garnishes for Simply Roasted asparagus. Try fresh herbs, toasted nuts, or caramelized shallots.
  • tip 4
    Tuck a few crumbles of goat cheese or other soft cheese inside prosciutto-wrapped spears for an extra-rich appetizer.
