Preparation

Preheat oven to 425oF (220oC).

Lay baguette slices on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper.

Mix butter with garlic and parsley and brush onto baguette slices.

Cook in oven for about 5 minutes or until bread is golden and crispy.

Cook asparagus 2 minutes in a saucepan filled with salted boiling water. Rinse under cold water to stop cooking and drain.
