How to Prep Asparagus
Before you cook it, you will want to trim the ends. The ends are tough and fibrous and you can trim them a couple of ways:
- Hold one stalk and bend it. It will naturally break where the tough end meets the more tender part.
- Or, you can use a knife and trim an inch or two off the ends. You can do this with several at a time to make it faster.
- Add some dried herbs like parsley, thyme, oregano or Italian seasoning before you cook them.
- You can coat them in flavored oils if you have them on hand - olive oil flavored with garlic, herbs, and other seasonings is an easy way to dress them up.
- For serving, try adding some grated Parmesan or Asiago cheese sprinkled over the top.
- Add some chopped fresh herbs before you serve them, too! Parsley or chives would work great.
