- Trim the asparagus before cooking. Snap off the tough ends of the spears, about 1 inch from the bottom.
- Cook the asparagus properly. Asparagus can be steamed, roasted, grilled, or sautéed. Be careful not to overcook it, as it will become mushy.
- Serve the asparagus immediately. Asparagus is best when served hot or warm. You can also chill it and serve it cold.
- Add some flavor to your asparagus. Asparagus can be flavored with a variety of ingredients, such as lemon juice, butter, garlic, Parmesan cheese, or bacon.
