Cooking Tips

• Choose asparagus spears that are firm and bright green in color.
• To trim the tough ends, hold each spear at both ends and bend until it snaps naturally.
• If the asparagus spears are thick, you can peel the lower portion with a vegetable peeler for a more even cooking.

Storage and Serving

• Divine Asparagus is best served immediately after roasting to maintain its texture and flavor.
• If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• To reheat, place the asparagus in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes until warmed through.
• Serve as a side dish or appetizer alongside grilled meats, roasted chicken, or pasta dishes.
