My Notes

Whether it's a recipe tweak or an inspiration burst — jot it down here.

Asparagus Snap Technique 🌿
Naturally trim asparagus by gently bending each spear - it will break exactly where the tough woody part meets the tender stem, ensuring perfect texture every time.
Garlic Infusion Hack 🧄
Mince garlic and let it sit for 10 minutes before roasting to activate its beneficial enzymes and maximize its flavor-enhancing potential.
Uniform Roasting Trick 🔥
Arrange asparagus in a single layer with minimal overlap to ensure even caramelization and prevent steaming instead of roasting.
Oil Distribution Pro Tip 💧
Use your hands to massage the olive oil and seasonings directly onto each asparagus spear, ensuring complete and even coverage.
Crispy Edge Secret 🥬
For extra crispy edges, pat asparagus completely dry before oiling and roasting to remove excess moisture that prevents proper browning.
