    Even though I have shared the oven-roasted method of cooking Asparagus in this post and recipe video, I have also shared other ways to cook them easily at home. So just hover down if you are interested in finding five different methods to cook Asparagus.

    Steamed Asparagus

    This method of cooking helps when you have planned to make many recipes. Steaming Asparagus comes quickly when you are working on other dishes. You could also steam other veggies to make a mixed vegetable side.

    • Place the steamer - In a large pot, pour water and bring it boil. Place the steamer inside and place the asparagus in single layer.
    • Close and Cook - Close the pot with its lid and cook for 5 to 10 minutes or until the veggie becomes tender
    • Serve - Remove the veggie from the steamer and season with some pepper and salt before serving

    Boiled Asparagus

    To make boiled Asparagus, all we need is salt and a large pot of water.

    • Boil Water with Salt - In a large pot, pour water, add salt and bring it to rolling boil
    • Add in the Asparagus - Add in the veggie and cook for about 3 to 5 minutes or until it turns tender
    • Serve - Remove the Asparagus from the water and serve hot with favorite dishes. You could also soak the cooked veggie in cold water, if you are palnning to consume or serve them immediately. This helps to stop the veggie cooking further

    Sauteed Asparagus

    This Sauteed Asparagus gives similar crunchy yet soft spears just like the oven-roasted method. And the process is also simple that comes all together in 10 minutes.

    • Add oil to Pan - In a pan with medium heat, pour oil or butter and add garlic. Saute the garlic until it turns aromatic
    • Stir in the Asparagus - Now add in the asparagus and make sure to cut them into medium pieces. This helps the Asparagus to cook faster. Saute the veggies for about 7 to 10 minutes or until it turns tender and crispy
    • Serve - Finally season with some pepper, salt and serve hot

    Pan Roasted Asparagus

    This method is also one of the easy ways to cook Asparagus. You can use your favorite fat like cooking oil or butter and both work best for this recipe.

    • Pour Oil - In a pan with medium heat, pour oil and add Asparagus. Stir the asparagus in oil in such a way the oil coats on all sides of it
    • Close and Cook - Close the pan with lid and cook the asparagus for 2 to 3 minutes
    • Stir on High Heat - Open the lid and switch the heat to high and stir the asparagus for another 2 to 3 minutes or until it tuns crisp and slightly brown
    • Season - Finally season with salt and pepper and remove from heat
    • Serve - Now the delicious pan roasted Asparagus is ready to taste and enjoy

    Broiled Asparagus

    You can also broil the Asparagus in the oven and it delivers nice crispy and smoky veggie. This recipe also comes together in 10 minutes.

    • Set the Oven to Broil - Set the oven to broil setting
    • Season the Asparagus - Coat the Asparagus with oil, salt, and pepper and place it in a sheet pan
    • Broil - Now place the sheet inside the oven and broil for about 10 minutes or until it turns crisp and smoky
    • Serve - Remove the Asparagus from the oven and it is now ready to taste and enjoy

    Tips

    • Seasoning - I have used olive oil, salt, pepper and garlic for seasoning the Asparagus but you can also use parmesan cheese, and chili flakes for more flavor and taste
    • Crispiness - Even though I have baked the Asparagus in oven, you could always broil them for last 2 minutes to achieve a crispy and smoky result
    • Temperature - I have roasted the Asparagus at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for about 8 to 10 minutes and you can also adjust the setting from 375 to 400 degrees Fahrenheit to cook the Asparagus
    • Serving - This Roasted Asparagus tastes great with Rice, Baked Salmon, Grilled Salmon, or dishes of your choice
