Instructions
- Fill a bowl with cold water and soak the asparagus for a few minutes. Remove the asparagus from the bowl and rinse off. Pat dry with a paper towel.
- Place half the asparagus on a large cutting board with the spears lined up. Using a large sharp knife, cut off the bottom tough woody parts, about 1-2 inches. You’ll notice the color turns from green to white and that’s the spot to make the cut.
- Repeat with the remaining asparagus spears. Use immediately in recipes as desired.
- If you have leftover cut asparagus, stand them up in a glass jar with about 1-inch of water. Then cover with a plastic bag for up to 4 days.
