What is the best way to cook and eat asparagus?
In our opinion, the best way to cook and eat asparagus is to roast it in the oven. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200ºC). Snap off the tough ends of the asparagus and lay them on a baking sheet, season with salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil. Bake for 10-15 minutes until lightly browned and easily pierced with a fork. Enjoy asparagus simply with a squeeze of lemon juice or as part of a main dish.
What goes well with asparagus?
Some popular dishes that go well with asparagus include roasted potatoes, roasted mushrooms, quinoa, couscous, pasta, rice, salad, grilled fish, and chicken.
