How To Trim Asparagus Spears
The easiest way to do it is to hold on the bottom of the spear and snap it off. Or if you prefer, lay the spears on a cutting board and cut off the woody part with a sharp knife. The woody part is the light part of the vegetable. Usually it snaps off pretty easily.
Ingredients
- Asparagus – make sure it’s as fresh as possible to get the best flavor.
- Olive oil – this will help the seasoning stick to the spears.
- Salt and black pepper – seasoning is always a must.
- Lemon – this ingredient will really help bring out the flavor of the vegetable.
