Spray the asparagus with olive oil spray so that the
seasonings will stick.
Sprinkle the 4 seasonings on the asparagus. If you don’t know how much to use, mix
together ¼ teaspoon of each into a bowl,
and then sprinkle that mixture on the asparagus. This way you know how to adjust if your
family wants an adjustment.

| You can measure and mix the 4 seasonings together |
 |
| Sprinkle on the seasonings |
Cover it loosely so that it will steam. I have a plastic cover that I put on a little
crooked. Paper plates will work if you
don’t have a special cover.
