Asparagus: So Many Ways to Eat It!
First, pick out fresh asparagus at the store or farmers market—look for bright green, firm spears with closed tips. If you can, buy it the day you plan to cook it.
Store your asparagus in the fridge, standing upright in a bowl of cold water or wrapped in a damp paper towel. Use it within 2-3 days for the best flavor.
Cooking options are endless: steam, grill, roast, or sauté. Roasting at 425°F with olive oil, salt, and pepper is my go-to for a rich, nutty flavor.
If you want something quick, blanch the spears and toss them in a salad or eat them raw with a vinaigrette. They’re surprisingly tasty and super crunchy!
Don’t forget you can add asparagus to eggs, stir-fries, or even a smoothie for a nutrient boost. It’s honestly one of the most versatile veggies out there.
