Spring is my favorite season primarily for one reason: The asparagus.

33 Spring Asparagus Recipes (2)

Well yeah, the nice weather and temperatures above70º are much appreciated too, especially after the looooong, cold winter we had this year. The temperatures actually climbed above 80º last Saturday! Yep, I totally pulled my flip-flops out and walked around in shorts all day.

And then….the weather turned. So typical of Wisconsin right? Ugh. It is soo cold here today and I don’t really appreciate that, just so you know. At least it’s sunny. — I can’t stand cold AND cloudy days.

Let’s get back to asparagus though, shall we? I love asparagus, absolutely LOVE it and I must admit that I cook with it so much this time of year, my family actually has to beg me to stop. — I get back at them by having them do the dishes. Ha! I’vefound cleaning servicesto be a fitting payment. 😉

You’re going to LOVE all these delicious and just plain FUN asparagus recipes I rounded up from all my favorite blogs.

It’s 8pm right now and I am craving a plateful of asparagus RIGHT THIS SECOND.

FAQs

What is the recipe for asparagus jamie oliver? ›

Simply preheat the oven to 220°C, gas mark 7, line a tray with foil or baking paper, lay the asparagus spears onto the tray, drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. You can also try adding a couple of fresh cloves of garlic and a little grating of lemon zest. Roast for ten minutes.

What pairs well with asparagus? ›

These asparagus recipes pair well with nearly every main course, whether you're grilling out or cooking in: steaks and burgers, chicken of all kinds, salmon, scallops and shrimp, mushroom risotto, simple pasta with garlic and olive oil, omelets and frittatas.

Why is my roasted asparagus soggy? ›

If your roasted asparagus is soggy, you may have overcooked it. In a hot oven at 425 degrees, asparagus only needs to roast for about 10 minutes—any longer and it can become limp and soggy. You should also be sure to pat the asparagus dry and spread them out into a single layer before roasting.

What to do with too much asparagus? ›

The fastest fix for too much asparagus that I have found is to chop it up and freeze it. Now there is a little bit more to it then that so let me explain how to do it so your asparagus will be flavorful and delicious instead of mushy and bland.

What cooking method is best for asparagus? ›

Asparagus is great quickly stir-fried or sautéed over high heat. You could sauté spears in butter or olive oil with delicious results, but throwing some chopped herbs or sliced chiles into the pan adds wonderful flavor. Both of these methods produce juicy asparagus that retains its crunch.

What is the most popular way to eat asparagus? ›

Asparagus develops a rich flavor when roasted, making this one of the most popular ways to eat the vegetable.

What month is best to eat asparagus? ›

While asparagus is luckily usually found year-round in grocery stores, like most produce, it has a peak season. You will find the best asparagus during spring. Asparagus season usually starts around late February and goes until June, but the peak months are in April and May.

Is asparagus good for your kidneys and liver? ›

Asparagus contains potassium, an important nutrient for keeping your heart, bones, kidneys and nerves functioning and healthy, per the NIH. This stalky vegetable also consists of a compound called asparaptine, which may help improve blood flow, and in turn, may lower blood pressure.

Does asparagus get more tender the longer you cook it? ›

Does asparagus get softer the longer you cook it? Yes, it does. But you don't want to cook it too long or it will be soggy. That's fine when using in a soup, but not so much as a roasted side.

Why you shouldn't snap the ends off asparagus? ›

It is not necessary to trim asparagus. On some spears, especially fresh, pencil-thin stalks, the woody ends may tenderize once cooked. But on larger stalks, the ends of the asparagus are often woody and dense—Which makes them difficult to chew, no matter how soft the asparagus is after cooking.

What happens when you eat too much asparagus? ›

Because of its high fiber content, asparagus can cause flatulence, stomach cramps, and gastric upset in some people. Asparagus contains asparagusic acid that may break down to sulfurous compounds and lend a funny smell to your urine.

What tastes good with asparagus? ›

The asparagus makes a gorgeous side dish to serve with fish, chicken, pork, or really any protein you like.

What is the best way to eat asparagus? ›

Its elegant, snappy stalks stand up well to a variety of preparations, including roasting, steaming, sautéing and grilling. You can even eat asparagus raw: shave it into ribbons with a vegetable peeler and toss into dishes like Shaved Asparagus Salad with Lemon and Parmesan or Asparagus Fettuccine Carbonara.

Why do you soak asparagus in water? ›

I soak all asparagus first in cold water. I trim the ends and then rinse the stalks and let them sit in cold water for five minutes. It hydrates the asparagus, and they cook more quickly, for they are already wet with some moisture within them.
