Asparagus best of all the vegetables
with the possible exception of parsnips

Roast them and serve them alongside it

I was thinking the very same thing but she's on a diet so might not want to roast them.
Unless she dry roasts them, or maybe, Amberl, you could spray them with a bit of fry-light and roast them that way.

Don't be ridiculous
Amberl won't be eating any of this food she is preparing.

Too many calories in aromas.

For myself I have scotch broth left over from yesterday

Aspagus is probably my fave non-diversital veg too, in fact, it deffo is.
Have you ever tried sprinkling them with salt and baking them in the oven? Or using them as soldures with a boiled egg? They even work well microwaved, true story. I think that's what I going ot have for lunch now

I'll try the salt and oven idea.

A chef friend of mine BBQ'd some with salt and olive oil*

Never.
It was accompanied by some marvellous barbequed halloumi though...
