BusinessHABHow to cook asparagus: Asparagus season is fleeting. In the U.S., it’s typically available from April through June, but the peak period is quite short (from mid-May to mid-June).

Roasted Asparagus
Asparagus is one of the best vegetables to roast. If you are roasting vegetables, they will take longer than if you are just roasting meat. Take the asparagus out of the oven when they are just tender. To roast asparagus, first you want to wash and dry them. Then you want to put them on a sheet tray with a little bit of oil and salt. You can also put them in a baking dish. You want to put them in the oven at about 350°F for about 10 to 15 minutes. You want to make sure to turn them halfway through so that they get roasted evenly. You also want to make sure that you don’t over-roast them because then they will get really tough.
Grilled Asparagus
We don’t want you to burn your fingers, so take caution when holding the asparagus while grilling. First, you will want to make sure the asparagus stalks are dry, both above and below the water line. You can make a simple drizzle sauce by mixing olive oil, salt and pepper to taste. Next, you can grill the asparagus stalks on a grill that has been pre-heated to high (400-450F). You will want to make sure to put a piece of foil under the asparagus so that they don’t stick to the grill. We recommend grilling asparagus for about 5-6 minutes. After grilling, drizzle the asparagus with the olive oil mixture.
Baked Asparagus
Baking asparagus is very similar to roasting asparagus. You will want to put the asparagus on a sheet tray with a little bit of oil and salt. You can also put them in a baking dish. You want to put them in the oven at about 350°F for about 10 to 15 minutes. You want to make sure to turn them halfway through so that they get baked evenly. You also want to make sure that you don’t over-bake them because then they will get really tough.
Boiled and Stuffed Aspargaus
Asparagus is pretty versatile. It can be stuffed, baked, roasted, boiled, sautéed and more. We like to take the boiled and stuffed route and stuff the asparagus with cheese and ham. To make boiled asparagus with cheese and ham, you will want to take the asparagus and chop off the ends so that they are all of the same length. Then, you will want to put them in a large pot with water to cover them by about 1 inch. You will then want to boil the asparagus for about 8-9 minutes. After that process, you will want to drain the water and then put the asparagus back in the large pot. Once you have them in the large pot, you want to add the cheese and ham. You can add whatever kind of cheese you want. We like cheddar cheese. You will want to mix the cheese and ham together to form a paste. Once you have the cheese and ham paste, you put it into the asparagus. You want to stuff the asparagus until the cheese and ham mixture is gone.
Sautéed aspargus with garlic and chilli
Sautéing asparagus is a great way to cook it. A simple sautéed asparagus recipe includes chopped garlic, a drizzle of olive oil, salt and pepper. You can also add some chilli flakes if you want a spicier taste. You will want to cook it on medium heat for about 5 minutes. You want to make sure that the garlic doesn’t burn. You can also add lemon juice to the asparagus if you want it to come out a little bit more citrusy.
Conclusion
Asparagus is a great vegetable and superfood to incorporate into your diet. It’s easy to cook, and there are many different ways to prepare it. Whether you’re baking, boiling, grilling, roasting or sautéing it, you can’t go wrong.
