Do You Wash Asparagus Before Cooking?
Rinse the spears under cool water to remove any grit. Snap off the bottom inch or so using your fingers; the stems will naturally break where the tough woody part ends and the tender stem begins. Dry the spears by rolling them between two kitchen towels.
How do you Know When Asparagus Goes Bad?
It is the tips of asparagus they will begin to go bad first, which is also the most desirable part of the asparagus. The best way to tell if your asparagus is going badย is to look at the tips, they will begin to turn a very dark green (almost black) and whenย you touch them they will just mush between your fingers.
Should I Cut or Snap Asparagus?
The conventional wisdom is that this natural snap-off point is where the unpalatable toughness ends, and the tender asparagus begins. This is one snap decision that’s dead wrong. … Of course, cutting and peeling individual asparagus spears takes time. But in this case, time really is money.
Yes! Place packet on grill over low heat. Cover grill; cook 10 to 15 minutes, rotating packet 1/2 turn after 4 minutes, until asparagus is tender. To serve, cut large X across top of packet; carefully fold back foil to allow steam to escape.
How do you Make Asparagus Crispy on the Grill?
To make asparagus crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, grill over a high heat, directly on grill grates. Direct heat will crisp up the asparagus on the outside.
Can you Cook Asparagus in the Oven?
Yes! While I typically make this asparagus on the grill, there are times when itโs cold out or I just donโt feel like firing up the grill. These asparagus foil packets can also be baked in the oven at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 to 20 minutes.

I loved this recipe. I grilled the asparagus under the grill in the oven. I grated the parmesan over the asparagus and used garlic salt and peppercorns, then tossed them in the olive oil, before putting them in the oven for 8 minutes. Perfect, they disappeared quickly.
