Open in Pepper →Asparagus That Cooks While Dinner Rests
Asparagus is the side dish that asks almost nothing of you. A little oil, a little garlic, ten minutes, and there's something green on the plate next to the chicken.
Cooks on Pepper reach for these when the main dish is already in the oven and there's no burner left, or when a bunch of asparagus is about to go soft in the crisper drawer.
Every recipe here is a real one somebody made for supper: Garlic Parmesan Asparagus, two takes on Air Fryer Asparagus, Oven Roasted Asparagus, Balsamic lemon roasted asparagus, candied bacon wrapped asparagus, and Crescent Roll Wrapped Asparagus for when company's coming.
Quick Tips
- 1
Snap off the woody ends
Bend a stalk near the bottom and it breaks right where it turns tough. Line the rest of the bunch up with it and cut in one pass.
- 2
Don't crowd the basket
Lay the spears in a single layer with a little space between them; two batches of 6 to 8 minutes beats one soggy pile.
- 3
Add cheese at the end
Parmesan or Asiago burns fast, so sprinkle it on in the last 2 minutes and let the heat just melt it.
- 4
Match the time to thickness
Pencil-thin spears are done in about 5 to 6 minutes at 400°F, while thick ones need closer to 9 or 10.
