How Do You Not Overcook Asparagus?
To avoid overcooking asparagus, it is important to blanch the asparagus in boiling water for just a few minutes until it turns bright green. Then, remove it from the boiling water and immediately transfer it to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. This will ensure that the asparagus retains its crispiness and vibrant green color. Alternatively, you can roast asparagus in a preheated oven at 400°F for 10-12 minutes, until it is tender yet crispy.
