Wet a paper towel with the 2 Tbs of water. Squeeze out any excess water from the paper towel.
Wrap the paper towel around the Asparagus.

Check if the Asparagus is hot enough.
Repeat in 20 second intervals until Asparagus is heated through.
- You can use this recipe for as many Asparagus as you like, but wrap them with no more than 8 stalks together.
- If you are cooking more Asparagus, increase the time accordingly.
- Top your heated Asparagus with a pat of butter, salt, pepper and a squeeze of lemon juice.
- You might also like your asparagus topped with salad dressing (personally I like Ranch on mine).
- There’s an entire list in the post for topping ideas.
PRO TIP: If you want even MORE flavor out of your Asparagus, wet the paper towel with chicken broth instead of water.
