Asparagus connoisseurs argue about whether fat or thin stalks are preferable, citing tenderness and cooking speed. Methods for removing woody ends vary, from bending each spear to using a cleaver. Choosing stalks with closed tips and similar sizes ensures even cooking.
Roasted vegetables, including asparagus, are delicious when cooked with oil, salt, and pepper. Asparagus is highlighted in a roasted spring vegetable recipe along with fennel and potatoes. The roasting process caramelizes the vegetables, enhancing their flavor.
