48-delectable-unique-ways-to-enjoy-asparagus-recipes

Asparagus is one of our favorite veggies! During asparagus season, we will eat it almost every night. We can get it in-season for less than $1 a pound, which is what we have been getting it for around here the past couple of weeks. We will also freeze or can it to have enough during the off-season too.

We usually end up freezing most of it because it is a fast, easy solution. But freezing asparagus does change the texture of the asparagus, so it’s not like you can just steam or roast it and it be as good and crunchy as fresh. That’s where many of these recipes come into play. There are dozens of ways to enjoy asparagus…in fact, we share four dozen ways here. Then, whether you have fresh, frozen or canned asparagus, you can maximize the taste and enjoyment of this seasonal veggie all year long!

Before we dive into all of these delectable asparagus recipes, let me share how to freeze asaparagus. It’s actually pretty much like most any veggie – you have to quickly blanch it before freezing.

How To Freeze Asparagus:

  1. Trim and wash the asparagus
  2. Next, blanch the asparagus – either blanch in a pot of boiling water or a steamer for 3 minutes.
  3. Pull them out and then throw them in a bowl of ice water for 3 minutes.
  4. Drain them and let them dry for a few minutes.  A salad spinner will also help speed up drying time. Even dabbing with a paper towel will help!
  5. Finally, bag them up and label them with the date! Freeze and enjoy later!
  6. Again, note that you can only really use them for cooking and baking. They just lose their crunch and crisp. However, when it is .88 per lb. like it is right now compared to $4 normally, I happily freeze a bunch for the $4 season for cooking and baking!

Now that we have shared that quick little tip, let’s get to the good stuff- the asparagus recipes!

I have a NEW favorite recipe for asparagus in our house and all thanks to our girls having dinner duty one night – they got creative and created baked asparagus fries from an Udi’s gluten-free bagel. All I can say is WOW, WOW, WOW!

Second, the classic asparagus is an Oven Roasted Asparagus recipe. Plus, the best sauce with it is Hollandaise Sauce.
