Asparagus deserves better

Here’s how to cook it based on the vibe you’re going for soft, crisp, smoky, or glossy.

Steam — tender & bright

4–5 min over simmering water, covered. Don’t overdo it or it goes mushy fast.

Roast — brown & crisp

12–15 min at 425°F with olive oil + salt. Let it caramelize at the edges.

Grill — smoky & charred

6–8 min over medium-high heat. Flip once. You want the blackened bits.

Sauté — garlic & glossy

6–8 min in a hot pan with olive oil and smashed garlic. Finish with lemon if you’re smart.
